Product information
CEM II/B-M(V-L)42.5R
CEMENT RECOMMENDED FOR CONCRETE AND PREFABRICATED ELEMENTS
PACKED AND BULK
MAIN APPLICATIONS
- Mass concrete
- Reinforced concrete
- Structural prefabs
- Concrete for rapid removal of formwork, uncasing and demoulding
- Self-compacting concrete
- Concrete with alkali-reactive aggregates
MAIN USAGE RESTRICTIONS
- Reinforced and mass concrete in big volumes
- Emergency repair concrete
PRECAUTIONS
- Store in a watertight and dry place
- Store preferably for less than a month
- Take care of the dosage, mixing and curing to avoid desiccation
- Check temperature during mixing and curing in order to avoid shrinkage cracks during the first curing hours and the loss of rheology of fresh concrete
- Do not mix with gypsum or other type of cement
