Lafarge cement develops high early
strength which makes it possible for
early removal of formwork of slabs
and beams, increases speed of
construction and savings in
centering cost.
Durability
Lafarge cement produces high durable
concrete due to very low percentage
of alkali, magnesia and free lime in
its composition.
Workability
Lafarge cement produces better
workability concrete owing to its
high fineness.
Impermeability
Lafarge cement produces high impermeable
concrete by limiting the water cement
ratio to 0.42, ensuring densed and compact
concrete.
Impact resistance
Lafarge cement produces exceptionally high 28 days compressive strength ensuring better resistance to impact.
Anti corrosion
The presence of C3A reduces risk of corrosion induced by chlorides as it reacts with chlorides to form calcium
chloroaluminate.
