Type IV/B (V) 32,5 R LH/SR - Type IV/B (V) 32,5 R LH/SR - Buzzi Unicem Italia
Type IV/B (V) 32,5 R LH/SR
This cement contains: 45-64% clinker with a low calcium aluminate content, 36-55% fly ash and pozzolanic material.. A maximum of 5% minor constituents is permitted. The percentages indicated do not include additions of calcium sulfate and additives.
Known for its rapid early strength development and controlled developmentand due to the low aluminate content in the clinker, this cement offers special advantages such as the high/very high resistance to sulfates, suitability for use in marine environments., The cement conforms to the harmonized European standard EN 197/1 and displays the CE marking as required by European regulation 305/2011 (CPR).
"SR" means that the cement is sulfate-resistant, an additional property of the product in accordance with the composition and performance requirements specified in tables 2 and 5 of EN 197/1.
