NextEraGlobalCommerce offers high-quality Pozzolanic Portland Cement, following Iranian National Standard No. 3432. Pozzolanic cements are classified into two groups based on the percentage of added pozzolan material:
  • Pozzolanic Portland Cement (P.P.): Contains a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 15% pozzolan by weight.
  • Special Pozzolanic Portland Cement (P.P.W.): Contains a minimum of 15% and a maximum of 40% pozzolan by weight.

Key Features and Benefits of Pozzolanic Portland Cement for Foundations and Dam Construction:

The use of Pozzolanic Portland Cement improves various properties of concrete, making it ideal for foundations and dam construction projects. Some of the key advantages are:
  • Enhanced Concrete Durability: The high Blaine fineness of Pozzolanic Portland Cement helps adjust the cement hydration process, increasing the specific gravity of the concrete, leading to higher standard and final strength.
  • Reduced Permeability: The Pozzolanic reaction reduces free lime in the concrete, leading to lower porosity. This decreases permeability, preventing efflorescence and improving long-term durability.
  • Increased Resistance to Aggressive Environments: The Pozzolanic Portland Cement improves resistance to sulfate and chloride corrosion, protecting the reinforcing bars and concrete from the effects of aggressive chemicals and environments.
  • Lower Heat of Hydration: The lower heat of hydration helps in mass concrete pours, reducing the risk of temperature-related issues during curing.
  • Improved Workability and Reduced Shrinkage: The improved adhesion of the mixture increases the workability and reduces bleeding, minimizing the risks of shrinkage, cracking, and expansion in concrete structures.
  • Sustainability: Pozzolanic cements are a more sustainable option for construction, utilizing industrial by-products and improving concrete’s long-term resistance to harsh conditions.

Applications of Pozzolanic Portland Cement (Special):

  • Dam Construction: Ideal for foundation work and mass concrete applications, especially in sulfate-rich or moist environments.
  • Building Foundations: Suitable for aggressive soil conditions, enhancing the concrete's strength and longevity.
  • Concrete Structures: Perfect for large-scale projects, such as roads, bridges, and paving.
  • Durability in Harsh Conditions: Excellent for use in structures exposed to extreme weather and chemical attacks, ensuring the longevity of the concrete.
