Normal Cement is a high quality general purpose bagged cement and is suitable for all general concreting, block laying and plastering applications.
The product has been specifically designed to reduce the carbon intensity of cement production and to provide enhanced workability in block laying and plastering applications. The quality of all Normal Cement produced by Irish Cement is guaranteed to meet, in full, the requirements of Irish Standard I.S. 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.
How Normal Cement is Produced
Normal Cement is produced by grinding a combination of cement clinker and selected limestone and grinding aids, along with a small quantity of gypsum, to produce the final fine grey powder. Cement clinker is made by fusing together, at high temperatures, a precisely controlled blend of very finely ground limestone and shale. Normal Cement is manufactured in modern dry process works at Castlemungret, Co Limerick and Platin, Co Meath and is supplied in 25kg bags.
Applications
Normal Cement is suitable for a wide range of applications where no special or unusual considerations arise. Typical applications include use in site-mixed concrete for foundations, paths, etc., in small precast elements and in mortars, renders and grouts. Mortar mixes should have improved workability properties, compared with traditional cement based only on cement clinker, resulting in a more cohesive mortar or render mix, with better handling and finish characteristics.
