FAQs

Q: What is the difference between OPC vs PPC cement?

A: OPC has a fast-setting, high early strength, making it ideal for projects needing quick strength, such as roads and bridges.

PPC has a slower setting and better long-term strength and durability. It is suitable for mass concreting and structures exposed to harsh environments. The use of fly ash makes it more eco-friendly.

Q: How is cement made?

A: Cement is made by heating limestone, clay, and other materials in a kiln to form a clinker, which is then ground into a fine powder and mixed with gypsum.
