Which cement is better OPC cement or PPC cement?

Well, both types of cements have got merits of its own. OPC is a pure type cement releasing heat energy at a faster rate & the chances of shrinkage cracks are higher. PPC is a low heat cement in comparison to OPC requiring lesser degree of immediate post concrete setting curing. OPC is not suitable for hot weather conditions. PPC is suitable for adverse weather conditions. OPC cannot be used for thick & massive elements. PPC is to some extent suitable for thicker elements. Temperature controls are better conducted on PPC.


What is the meaning of ppc cement?

Portland Pozzolana cement (PPC) is manufactured by a combination of pozzolanic materials. Pozzolana is an artificial or natural material that has silica in it in a reactive form. Along with pozzolanic materials in specific proportions, PPC also contains OPC clinker and gypsum. These pozzolanic materials include volcanic ash, calcined clay or silica fumes, and fly ash which makes around 15% to 35% of cement weight.

Difference between opc and ppc?

Ordinary Portland Cement, also known as OPC, is a type I cement that does not only harden, but also becomes water-resistant once it cures. Pozzolanic Portland Cement, or PPC, is a type IV cement that includes a mixture of a pozzuolanic material, which can increase the strength of the concrete and reduce the amount of OPC used.
