BHARATHI ULTRAFAST
BharathiUltraFast
is a multipurpose Green Cement with following advantages:-
“BharathiUltraFast” is Premium quality
cement promoting Greener Construction which is produced
with Robotic Technology. This is one of the best inventions for
Engineers and Masons for all concrete applications.
“BharathiUltraFast”, is having higher advantage and complete package of
benefits of standard OPC 53 cement available in market.
ADVANTAGES:
1. FASTER SETTING TIME:
·
This gives faster Pre Casting work even in humid conditions.
2. HIGHER 1 DAY STRENGTH:
·
High early strength of concrete allows for faster removal of
the Form Work (De Shuttering), thereby improving the productivity.
3.
HIGHER 28 DAYS STRENGTH:
·
Higher later strength gives superior durability for concrete
structure. It increases the structural stability of concrete slabs, beams and
heavy load bearing applications.
·
“BharathiUltraFast” has a superior advantages of continuous strength gain
property even after 28 days.
4.
UNMATCHED
DURABILITY:
·
Low Heat of Hydration of Cement
o
“BharathiUltraFast” releases low heat of hydration. This attribute helps to
reduce risk of damage to concrete and reduce the tendency of thermal Cracks
·
Corrosion Inhibitor
·
“BharathiUltraFast” leads to dense & impermeable concrete
·
Better Fineness, micro particle size distribution and
optimum additive percentage in “BharathiUltraFast” improves the flowabillity and aids in making concrete denser
& impermeable.
6.
BEST SUITED FOR CEMENT BRICKS
MANUFACTURING.
