More than 27 types of cement
| TYPE | PROPERTIES and FEATURES |
| Type IP | · Blended Cement (Type IP) · Lower water requirement than Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) · Denser Concrete with reduced permeability · Better concrete cohesion |
| Type I | · High performance Portland cement · High early and final day strength and faster setting time · Consistent strength and compatibility to most chemical and mineral admixtures/additives |
| Type N (Masonry Cement) | · Advanced masonry cement specially formulated for masonry applications · Micro-fillers fill in voids and pores · Lighter and stickier plaster · Regulates hydration and drying |
| Type P | · High performance blended cement (Type P) · Lower heat of hydration · Denser concrete with reduced permeability · Reduces wastage and water addition, better finishing |
| Type IP | · Lower water requirement than OPC · Denser concrete · Better concrete cohesion |
| Type II | · Moderate Sulfate resistance · Moderate heat of hydration · Exceeds compressive strength requirements of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) at 28 days as per ASTM C150
|
| Type V | · High performance Portland cement · High Sulfate Resistant Cement |
| Type IP | · Higher early strength · Less cost per concrete hollow block: 5-10 more CHB · Improved chloride and sulfate resistance |
| Type S (Masonry Cement PNS ASTM C91) | · Superior bond strength makes plastering application easier and faster · Extendable mixture ~ 1:4 (cement:sand) · Allows easy placement and better bonding for hollow block laying · Improves quality of surface finish compared to ordinary cement
|
| Type IP | · Higher ultimate strength · Reduced permeability · Reduced expansion and heat of hydration and improved long-term durability · Moderate sulfate-resistant type of cement |
| Type M (Masonry Cement) | · Savings both in labor costs and usage · Higher workability compared to traditional cement products · Less plaster cracking · Environment-friendly type of cement · Allows better moisture retention and adhesion strength for improved usage through XD 100 nanotechnology |
| Type IP | · Higher ultimate strength · Reduced permeability · Reduced expansion and heat of hydration and improved long-term durability · Moderate sulfate-resistant type of cement |
| Type M (Masonry Cement) | · Savings both in labor costs and usage · Higher workability compared to traditional cement products · Less plaster cracking · Environment-friendly |
| Type I | · Early strength achieved in less time · Best in overall quality and consistency · Proven compatibility with mineral and chemical admixtures |
| Type S (Masonry Cement) | · Formulated and manufactured to produce a mortar with superior properties for use in masonry applications · Superior adhesion · Enhanced workability and longer board life · Increased water retention and less cracking · Smoother and lighter color |
| Type I | · Made for high performance applications and highly engineered construction · Early strength achieved in less time · Best in overall quality and consistency · Proven compatibility with mineral and chemical admixtures |
| Type IP | · Multi-purpose blended cement · Composed of clinker, gypsum and highly reactive Philippine tuff material · Enhances concrete workability · Improved strength and long-term durability · First in the Philippines to use Block Bottom Packaging · Environmentally friendly |
| Type I | · Composed of clinker and gypsum · The desired concrete characteristics can be modified from fresh to hardened state making it the best reinforcement for industrial construction |
| Type IP | · Made by mixed Portland cement clinker with a certain percentage of gypsum · The Portland cement clinker is made by sintering a precisely specified mixture of raw materials |
| Type P | · Reduces the water requirement · Improves the workability of the concrete · Develops strength longer curing period · Comparatively lower heat of hydration |
| Type I | · Used for general concrete construction when the special properties specified for any other type are not required |
| Type P | · Used for concrete construction where high strength at early ages is not required |
| Type S (Masonry Cement) | · A masonry cement for plastering, concrete hollow block laying & filling, floor tiles laying / setting, and finishing |
