EN 197-1 ’Cement Part 1: Composition, Specifications and Conformity Criteria for Common Cements’ and the product is independently certified by the National Standards Authority of Ireland and is CE marked.
Sulfate-resisting Portland Cement
Sulfate-resisting Portland Cement (SRPC) is a special purpose cement used where sulfates are present in concentrations that would damage Normal Cement concrete. Sulfate resistance is achieved by adjustments to chemical composition to limit the level of C3A in the SRPC. The quality of all SRPC produced by the company is guaranteed to meet in full the requirements of British Standard 4027: 1996 ‘Sulfate-resisting Portland Cement’ and the product is independently certified by the British Standards Institution.
