General comment Portland fly-ash cement is a type of blended cement which incorporates fly ash as a significant component. The product is known for its durability and improved environmental profile due to the utilization of fly ash, a byproduct from coal combustion in power plants. The processing level of this cement includes the grinding and homogenization of clinker with fly ash. It often meets specific industry standards such as ASTM or EN, highlighting quality assurances. Usage information includes applications in general construction, particularly in concrete structures requiring enhanced sulfate resistance. The production route involves the mixing of Portland clinker with a certain proportion of fly ash. Typically, this type of cement is part of a production mix, and its availability is often denoted as 'to consumer' indicating it is ready for commercial use. |
