The Sulphate Resisting Cement of Dalmia is a unique product specially designed to stand the challenges of aggressive environments leading to 100 years of life to the concrete construction. The salient features which sets it apart are -
1. Exposure to aggressive environments:
The chlorides and other acidic pollutants in today’s atmosphere gradually and incessantly attack the C3A ( Tricalcium Aluminate ) contained in our ordinary cement leading to deterioration of concrete structures. Similarly the sulphate infested soil conditions also lead to disintegration of concrete structures, reducing the life of construction to 5- 7 years depending upon the concentration of the aggressive elements.
The C3A or Celite is the most vulnerable component in ordinary cements. The proportion of this component is reduced to a bare minimum of 3% in Dalmia SRC cement, making it chemical resistant even to the most aggressive environments.
The Bureau of Indian standards have specified the use of such Sulphate Resisting Cement for aggressive environments and they specified the maximum limit of 5% C3A in such cements. But to make it totally fool proof against the chemical attacks, we have f
