CEM 1 (CEMEX Portland)
CEM I Bulk Portland cements are the most widely specified in the UK. The original “general purpose” product, Portland Cement is used in various applications, from concrete, mortar and render to the manufacture of pre-cast units such as blocks, bricks, pipes and tiles. CEMEX Portland is produced by burning a precisely specified mixture of raw materials containing Lime, silica, alumina and small quantities of other materials to form a clinker. The clinker, together with calcium sulfate to control setting, is then ground to produce cement of the required fineness. Up to 5% of minor additional constituents (typically, Limestone, fly ash or granulated blastfurnace Slag) may be incorporated at the grinding stage.
