INC launches new cement

Paraguay’s Industria Nacional del Cemento (INC) has launched a new Portland cement, type CP II-C40, produced exclusively for structural work.

Due to its high strength it is recommended for structures where the demoulding time is fundamental for the works, rotation of formwork and progress of the schedule.

With increased resistance to humidity, the concrete produced with this cement is more workable, which results in easier placement and compaction, thus increasing its durability. As it is more resistant, it requires less concrete and steel.

Applications include hard concrete pavements, airfields, non-residual storage tanks and water channels, prefabricated structures, large structures, foundations, high-strength concrete.
