Zabol Cement (Iran)
Product Overview and Usage Guide
Cement is a finely powdered material used in the production of concrete and other construction applications. It is created by combining limestone and clay under high temperature and pressure. One of the notable cement products from factories in the Sistan region is Zabol Cement. Prices for Zabol Cement vary depending on the type and specifications listed on the stock exchange. Below is an overview of the different types of Zabol Cement and their uses.
Types of Zabol Cement
Zabol Cement is available in several categories based on chemical composition and physical properties:
1. Portland Cement Type 1
Known for its high compressive strength and resistance to water, acids, alkalis, and heat. It is widely used in buildings that require strength and in areas with soil irrigation.
2. Portland Cement Type 2
Offers excellent resistance to chemical corrosion, making it suitable for infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and ports.
3. Portland Cement Type 3
Designed for projects requiring high resistance to heat and moisture, such as advanced concrete works and industrial constructions.
4. Portland Cement Type 4
Highly waterproof, this type is ideal for dam construction and other water-contact applications.
5. White Cement
Characterized by its pure white color, it is used for decorative elements, ceiling tiles, flooring, and ornamental blocks.
Pozzolanic and Special Pozzolanic Cement
Pozzolanic Cement is produced by partially replacing Portland clinker with pozzolans-active natural or artificial materials that improve cement’s thermal resistance, mechanical strength, and durability.
Special Pozzolanic Cement includes high-performance pozzolans (e.g., processed clay) and is designed for specialized structures like dams, bridges, and tunnels. This type enhances chemical resistance, durability, and eco-friendliness, while reducing sensitivity to temperature and humidity.
Cement Pricing
The price of a 50kg bag of Zabol Cement depends on the type and its application. Special Pozzolanic Cement typically costs more than standard Pozzolanic types. In general, pozzolanic cements are cost-effective and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional Portland cement in many construction scenarios.
Instructions for Use
Zabol Cement is widely applied in:
Concrete production
Masonry work
Bricks and blocks
Flooring and wall partitions
Steps for Using Zabol Cement:
Surface Preparation:
Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
Mixing:
Combine cement with water in recommended proportions.
Application:
Pour and smooth the mixture using suitable tools. Allow proper drying time.
For concrete production, mix cement with sand, aggregates, and water. For adhesive uses, follow specific instructions depending on the project and materials.
Identifying Corrupted Cement
To ensure product quality, always purchase from reputable suppliers like Zabol Cement. Be aware of the following signs of spoiled cement:
Color Change: Black or brown color indicates exposure to moisture.
Powder Form: Excessively dry, powdery texture signals deterioration.
Loss of Reactivity: If the cement doesn’t set properly, it has likely expired.
Additionally, very low prices may indicate compromised quality. While bulk cement is cheaper, packaged cement is generally more consistent in quality and storage condition.
