Dalmia PPC Cement

**Minimum Order Quantity for Cement is 50 bags.

Dalmia PPC Cement (Portland Pozzolana Cement) is a premium, eco-friendly blended cement manufactured by Dalmia Bharat Cement, an industry pioneer with over eight decades of expertise. Fully conforming to IS 1489 (Part I): 2015 standards, Dalmia PPC is crafted by scientifically blending and inter-grinding high-strength Portland cement clinker with carefully selected, processed fly ash containing high reactive silica and premium gypsum.

This advanced manufacturing process creates a highly dense concrete matrix that specializes in RCF (Roof, Column, and Foundation), providing long-term structural durability and ultimate weather protection for your home.

Key Features & Benefits

• Sustained Long-Term Strength: While it gains structural strength at a steady, controlled pace in the first few days, the pozzolanic reaction between the processed fly ash and liberated lime continues for months. This ongoing chemical hydration generates an ultimate compressive strength that exceeds traditional benchmarks.
• Advanced Crack Resistance: Dalmia PPC produces a significantly lower heat of hydration during the setting phase compared to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). This eliminates the risk of thermal shrinkage and hairline surface cracks, making it exceptionally safe for mass concrete pours and plastered surfaces.
• Superior Chemical Shield: The reaction of its ultra-fine particles creates additional Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) gel, which blocks microscopic voids within the concrete. This drastically reduces permeability, protecting the internal steel reinforcement bars (rebars) from corrosion and resisting aggressive sulphate or chloride attacks.
• Exceptional Workability & Smooth Finish: The spherical nature of the graded fly ash acts like tiny ball bearings within the wet concrete mix. This reduces particle friction, improves concrete flow, and allows masons to easily achieve a cohesive, smooth, and dense surface finish with less water separation (bleeding).
• World’s Greenest Cement: Dalmia Bharat is globally recognized for its commitment to sustainability. By repurposing industrial fly ash and reducing energy-intensive clinker volume, Dalmia PPC carries a low carbon footprint, making it the preferred choice for eco-conscious builders.

Primary Applications

• Slabs, Columns, and Foundations (RCF): Specifically engineered to bear core structural dead loads and give overall load-bearing stability to buildings.
• Masonry and Brickwork: Provides a robust adhesive bond for binding red bricks, hollow concrete blocks, or fly-ash bricks cleanly.
• Internal and External Plastering: Due to its ultra-fine particle size, it spreads evenly to create smooth, crack-free walls that require less wall putty and paint.
• Water-Retaining Structures: Ideal for foundations, underground sumps, sewage systems, and overhead water tanks due to its low permeability and high water resistance.

Storage and Handling Best Practices

• Moisture Elimination: Keep bags stored inside a fully weather-proof, well-ventilated storage shed away from any moisture.
• Pallet Storage: Stack the cement bags on an elevated wooden or plastic platform; do not place the stock directly on bare concrete floors to prevent moisture absorption from the ground.
• Stock Rotation: Follow the "First In, First Out" (FIFO) principle, and consume the batch within 3 months of the manufacturing date for peak performance.
