OPC And PPC Cement

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.
