• Heat of Hydration: Low (reduces cracking risk)
• Best Before: 3 months from manufacturing date

Product Description

Ultratech PPC Cement is trusted by builders and homeowners across Bangalore for its superior workability and smooth finish in masonry and plastering operations. Enhanced with pozzolanic materials like fly ash, it offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional OPC cement with reduced CO₂ emissions.

This PPC cement develops strength steadily over time, often matching or surpassing the long-term strength of OPC, while generating less heat during curing—a key benefit in Bangalore's humid climate that minimizes thermal cracking and ensures durable, long-lasting construction.

Recommended Applications

• Masonry and Brickwork: Superior adhesion for brick and block work in residential and commercial construction
• Plastering Works: Smooth finish for interior and exterior wall surfaces with excellent workability
• Grouting Applications: Effective for filling gaps, voids, and joints in construction projects
• Repair and Restoration: Ideal for maintenance, patching, and restoration work on existing structures
• Foundation Work: Suitable for non-load bearing concrete structures and general construction

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What is the difference between PPC and OPC cement?

PPC (Portland Pozzolana Cement) contains pozzolanic materials like fly ash, which makes it more eco-friendly with lower heat generation during curing. It develops long-term strength that matches or exceeds OPC, while OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) gains strength faster initially but generates more heat, making PPC ideal for Bangalore's humid climate.

2) How long does Ultratech PPC Cement last in storage?

Ultratech PPC Cement should be used within 3 months from the manufacturing date for optimal performance. Store bags in a dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture, preferably on pallets or platforms rather than directly on the ground to prevent dampness absorption.

3) Is PPC cement suitable for plastering work?

Yes, PPC cement is excellent for plastering due to its superior workability and smooth finish. The pozzolanic materials enhance adhesion and texture, making it a preferred choice for both interior and exterior plastering in residential and commercial projects.

4) Why does PPC cement generate less heat than OPC?

PPC cement generates lower heat of hydration because the pozzolanic materials (fly ash) react more slowly than pure Portland cement clinker. This reduces thermal stress and minimizes cracking risk, especially beneficial in Bangalore's humid climate where temperature fluctuations can affect curing.

5) Can I use Ultratech PPC Cement for structural concrete work?

While PPC cement can be used for non-load bearing concrete structures, it is primarily recommended for masonry, plastering, and general construction. For structural concrete requiring high early strength, OPC 53 Grade cement is typically preferred due to its faster strength development.

6) What makes Ultratech PPC Cement eco-friendly?

Ultratech PPC Cement is eco-friendly because it incorporates fly ash and other pozzolanic materials, which are industrial by-products. This reduces CO₂ emissions during manufacturing and utilizes waste materials, making it a sustainable alternative to traditional OPC cement without compromising quality or performance.

7) How much area does one 50 kg bag of PPC cement cover?

Coverage depends on the application method and thickness. For plastering, one 50 kg bag typically covers approximately 12-15 square meters at 12mm thickness when mixed with sand in a 1:4 ratio. For brickwork, coverage varies based on mortar joint thickness and brick size.
