INSEE Sanstha Portland Composite Cement

Sustainable High Performing Cement

INSEE SANSTHA PORTLAND COMPOSITE CEMENT is the result of years of research and development, engineered with INSEE's trademarked SmartAct™ Complex Organo-Mineral Technology. A unique superior blended cement with up to 35% clinker replaced with a composition of more than one cementitious mineral addition. Produced in two variants — ternary composition combining fly ash or slag with high-grade calcium carbonate. Undergoes THREE reactions (hydration, pozzolanic, and nucleation) versus OPC's one reaction, promoting refinement of the pore structure for denser, stronger, more durable concrete.

Key Features

  • SmartAct™ Technology — THREE chemical reactions versus OPC's one, producing denser microstructure and higher strength and durability at every level of maturity.
  • Higher Sulphate and Chloride Resistance — very dense microstructure and low porosity ideal for aggressive environments containing sulphate, salts and acids.
  • Alkali Aggregate Reaction (AAR) Resistance — fly ash and slag bond chemically with soluble alkalis, preventing expansive gel formation and concrete deterioration.
  • Mass Pouring — low heat of hydration at early age, highly recommended for mass concrete works and hot weather tropical conditions.
  • Environmentally Friendly — up to 35% less clinker than OPC, significantly reducing CO2 emissions per tonne of cement produced.
  • Superior Workability — spherical fly ash particles and finely blended slag act as lubricant, increasing fluidity and enabling smooth aesthetic finishes.
  • Water Protect — very dense impermeable microstructure with maximum packing density protects against water penetration and ingress.

Applications
