The construction industry is undergoing a significant shift towards sustainability. With growing environmental concerns, builders and architects are exploring eco-friendly materials and practices. One material that has gained prominence in this regard is Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC).
Understanding PPC Cement
PPC cement is a blend of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and pozzolana, a naturally occurring or industrial by-product rich in silica and alumina. This combination produces in a cement that is not only stronger and more durable but also environmentally friendly.
PPC Cement: A Green Choice
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: the use of industrial by-products, such as fly ash and silica fumes, PPC cement reduces the need for raw materials typically used in cement production, thereby lowering the overall carbon footprint.
- Conservation of Natural Resources: By incorporating industrial waste materials, PPC cement aids in conserving natural resources, thus making its use more sustainable.
- Improved Durability: Structures built with PPC cement exhibit enhanced durability due to its lower heat of hydration, reducing the likelihood of cracks, extending the lifespan of the building and minimising the need for repairs or replacements.
- Enhanced Water Resistance: PPC cement, such as Prism Champion All Weather Cement, offers superior water resistance, which is crucial for sustainable construction. It helps prevent water ingress, reducing the risk of dampness, mould, and energy consumption for heating or cooling.
