Because this cement type is ideal for structural projects where durability and load-bearing capacity are crucial, Portland Type I has become a staple throughout the industry.

Why Select Portland Type 1 Cement?
Made primarily of calcium, silica, alumina, and iron, Portland Type I cement has a significant advantage in diverse regions. It can withstand environmental conditions, including freezing and thawing cycles, and has high sulfate resistance.
It’s suitable for load-bearing units or free-standing structures that require high early strength and a quick setting time.
In addition to its durability and versatility, Portland cement is easy to work with. This functionality allows for precise molding and shaping during construction thanks to its unmatched consistency and quality performance.
