PowerMAX 42,5 is a premium cement that combines excellent strength performance at all ages with versatility and enhanced durability benefits. PowerMAX 42,5 combines high technical performance for large projects with all round versatility for the small user. The characteristics of superior workability, high early and 28-day strengths in particular makes PowerMAX 42,5 the effective solution to the productivity demands of construction projects. The attribute of low heat of hydration reduces the risk of cracking in large concrete pours with lowered peak temperatures at all ages.

Applications for Power Max 42,5

• For High Concrete Strength:Bridges, High-rise structures
• For Large Projects: Dam/reservoir, Construction, Massive Beams, Columns and Slip, Form Works
• For Soil Stabilisation
• Foundation Works
• For Ordinary Constructions

Composition and Conformance

PowerMAX 42,5 is produced at our plants by intergrinding Portland Cement Clinker with limestone and a strength enhancing additive. The product conforms to the KS EAS 18-1 cement standards as adopted from the EN-197 specification that is equivalent to the Uganda specification US 310-1 or US EAS 18-1. The product is classified as a CEM II/A-L 42,5 N Portland Limestone Cement.

Technical Data

PowerMAX 42,5 meets all applicable physical and chemical requirements of the harmonized East African cement standard as per data below. Bamburi Ceme nt manufactures PowerMAX 42,5 in accordance with strict quality assurance and quality control procedures to ensure optimum product performance and consistency. There are many variables that affect concrete performance that are beyond the control of the manufacturer. Skilled persons should use cement with special attention given to batching, mixing, placing, finishing and curing. The judicious selection of concrete constituent materials with special emphasis on aggregates coupled with proper concrete mix design process will assist users in obtaining good results.

Benefits of using Power Max

PowerMAX 42,5 retains the early age gain strength characteristics and 28 day strengths of Powerplus cement while having the following enhanced attributes:

• Low heat of hydration (reduce cracking)
• High workability
• Reduced bleeding
• Reduced porosity
• Improved cohesion
• Equivalent alkalis less than 0.6%
• Smoother surface finish
• Environmentally friendly (less CO2 emission)

PowerPlus 42,5 N cement is traditionally known as Ordinary Portland Cement. Powerplus cement is utilized very efficiently in medium to large construction projects to optimize performance. These applications require good technical ability, quality control and experience to design concrete mixes.

Applications

PowerPlus 42,5 N cement has wide applications and is ideally suited where high concrete strengths and fast construction speeds are of essence. Its high strength performance makes it suitable for high strength structural concrete applications.

Other Structural Applications/Reinforced concrete

• Spun pipe manufacturing
• Post- tensioning and pre-stressing slabs and beams
• Pre- cast manufacturing

Composition and Conformance

PowerPlus 42,5 N is formulated from Portland Cement Clinker and interground with other constituents, in accordance to the requirements of the following standards adopted from the European Norm Standard EN 197 Part 1 – Composition, Specification and Conformity Criteria for Common Cements.

Characterisitcs

PowerPlus 42,5 N is very effective for high strength concrete applications, particularly where high early strengths, quick setting and high 28 day strengths are an important consideration.

Medium strength concrete

• Concrete columns, suspended slabs, beams and water retaining structures.
• Brick and block making
• Domestic concrete

Civil Works

• Soil stabilization
