Portland slag cement (PSC)

Portland slag cement (PSC)




PSC can be used for all construction jobs in place of ordinary portland cement, but its special properties render its adoption highly desirable for marine structures, for municipal works such as sewers, for structures involving large masses of concrete such as dams, retaining walls, and bridge abutments, and for structures exposed to sulphate bearing soils such as foundations and roads. PSC is the commonly used cement in the eastern region of the country.
