SRC

Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement

CEM I 42.5 R - SR 3.5

SRC cement is used for foundations, marine structures, wastewater plants, and irrigation works, providing long-lasting durability in aggressive environments.

SRC Cement is a specially formulated type of Portland cement designed to provide exceptional resistance to sulfate attack. It is manufactured with a low content of tricalcium aluminate (C₃A), which minimizes the risk of deterioration when exposed to sulfate-rich soils and water.

In Iraq, this type of cement is used in the central and southern regions. The reason for its use in these areas is that the water and soil have high sulfate content. As a result, this type of cement is resistant to sulfates.

Packing Types

Delta Cement supplies both in Bag and Bulk:

Bagged Cement :

It is transported with bags 50Kg each through flat truck. All packaging should be waterproof to prevent moisture absorption. Primarily used in places without mixing stations or storage bins. This method creates a lot of dust and can be harmful to humans, and Delta Cement company always recommends having the safety equipment ready

Bulk Cement:

Bulk cement is transported without packaging in specialized bulk tankers, ensuring efficient, large-scale delivery directly to batching plants, silos, or construction sites equipped with cement storage systems. This method is ideal for high volume projects and locations with proper handling infrastructure.
Transporting cement in bulk minimizes product loss, reduces dust emissions, and eliminates the need for manual handling of bags, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly option.

General recommendations:

Water:

Use a clean water for mixing and watering.

Mixing:

Use the raw materials according to standards
The best way of mixing the constituents is to use the batching plant. For hand mixing concrete, we recommend using wheelbarrow or bucket to measure the quantities
Water the concrete for 3 days to avoid cracking
Cover the surface with canvas or plastic cover to reduce the evaporation of water from the concrete surface
