Portland cement type 425-1 is a type of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) specifically used for general construction applications. The main specifications of this type of cement are determined based on national and international standards. Below is a description of this cement:
Features
1.Compressive strength:
The number “425” indicates the 28-day compressive strength of this cement, which must be at least 425 kg/cm2. This number is a measure of the quality and strength of cement in concrete.
2. General use:
This cement is suitable for general construction such as buildings, bridges, roads, foundations, and other non-specialized structures.
3.Chemical structure:
This type of cement has similar chemical compositions to Type 1 Portland cements, but with careful quality control of the raw materials and production process, higher compressive strength is achieved.
Applications
Construction of residential and commercial structures
Production of concrete blocks, mosaics and other prefabricated parts
Paving and construction of urban roads
General projects that require higher concrete strength
Benefits
High compressive strength in a relatively short period of time
Usability in different weather conditions
The quality of concrete produced with this cement is usually higher than that of regular Type 1 cements.
