FAQs

1) What makes Ramco Supergrade PPC Cement "Supergrade"?

Ramco Supergrade PPC Cement is a premium formulation that offers superior durability, low heat of hydration, and chemical resistance to chlorides and sulfates. It meets IS 1489 standards and provides enhanced performance compared to standard PPC cement for demanding construction applications.

2) How does low heat of hydration benefit construction?

Low heat of hydration means the cement generates less heat during the curing process, which reduces thermal stress and minimizes cracking risk. This is especially beneficial in humid climates like Bangalore where temperature variations can cause thermal expansion and contraction.

3) What is the chemical resistance of Ramco Supergrade PPC?

Ramco Supergrade PPC offers superior chemical resistance to chlorides and sulfates found in aggressive waters. This makes it ideal for construction in coastal areas or locations with high groundwater salinity, providing enhanced durability against chemical attack.

4) How long can I store Ramco Supergrade PPC Cement?

Ramco Supergrade PPC Cement should be used within 3 months from the manufacturing date for optimal performance. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture, preferably on raised platforms to prevent dampness from affecting cement quality.

5) Is Ramco Supergrade PPC suitable for plastering?

Yes, Ramco Supergrade PPC is excellent for plastering due to its superior workability and smooth finish. The premium formulation provides enhanced adhesion and durability, making it ideal for both interior and exterior plastering applications.

6) Can Ramco Supergrade PPC be used for structural concrete?

Ramco Supergrade PPC is primarily designed for masonry, plastering, and general construction. For structural concrete requiring high early strength, OPC 53 Grade cement is typically recommended due to its faster initial strength development.

7) What is the coverage area for one 50 kg bag?

Coverage depends on application method and thickness. For plastering at 12mm thickness with 1:4 cement-sand ratio, one 50 kg bag typically covers 12-15 square meters. For masonry work, coverage varies based on mortar joint thickness and construction method.
