Routine product test data covering key physical and chemical parameters is made available to our customers on request.

In addition to the company’s own guarantee, SRPC is independently certified to BS 4027 by the British Standards Institution under the Institution's Kitemark scheme for cement.

Platin Works also holds Quality Systems Certification to I.S. EN ISO 9001 :2000 from the National Standards Authority of Ireland.

Cement should be stored dry, otherwise its quality will deteriorate through premature hydration and carbonation. Moisture from the air can be as harmful as direct moisture. Cement stored in bulk, in a well-maintained silo, should maintain its quality for some months. SRPC is supplied in moisture resistant paper bags to give improved storage life.

When cement is mixed with water an alkaline solution is produced. Precautions should be taken to avoid skin contact with wet cement, fresh concrete and mortar and to prevent dry cement from entering the eyes, mouth and nose. Suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection should be worn.

If contact with body fluids occurs wash off immediately with clean water and in the case of contact with eyes seek medical advice.
