Sulfate Cement - Specialist Cement

Rugby® Sulfate is designed to prevent the rapid deterioration of concrete made from Portland cements which occurs in structures exposed to certain types of soils and groundwaters.

Building Research Establishment document Special Digest 1; ‘Concrete in aggressive ground’, recognises that Portland-Fly Ash cement (incorporating at least 25% fly ash) provides enhanced durability when used in concrete placed in aggressive ground conditions.

Special Digest 1 permits CEM II Portland-Fly Ash cement in the same aggressive sulfate ground conditions as Sulfate Resisting Portland Cement, (SRPC), to BS 4027.

Benefits

Increased Resistance to Chemicals

Increased resistance to chemicals present in soils or ground water

Tackles Aggressive Ground Conditions

Refer to BRE Special Digest 1 (for CEM II/B-V + SR), a guide for concrete in aggressive ground conditions

Chromium (VI) Compliant

It's Chromium (VI) Compliant - which is Intended to reduce the risk of allergic contact dermatitis

Applications

Damp Proof Course

Suitable for mortar and concrete below damp proof course

Sulfate Present Conditions

Ideal for use in concrete and mortar applications where sulfates are present

Delivery & Storage

Delivered by road in a curtain-sided vehicle, the standard load size is 28 - 30 tonnes. All CEMEX drivers are fully trained and experienced in the safe delivery and unloading of our vehicles, but please do all you can to ensure your site is accessible with no obstructions.

Rugby® Sulfate is available in paper sacks delivered as shrink-hooded, 1.4 tonne modules on non-chargeable pallets. To avoid premature deterioration of the reducing agent incorporated in the cement for control of soluble Chromium (VI), storage should be in accordance with the recommendations given on bags and despatch documents.

Health & Safety

Contact with wet cement, wet concrete or mortar may cause irritation, dermatitis or severe alkali burns. Contact between cement powder and body fluids (eg sweat and eye fluids) may also cause irritation, dermatitis or burns. There is serious risk of damage to the eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.

In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of clean water. Keep out of reach of children. Contains chromium (VI), may cause allergic reaction, the risk of which is increased if the cement is used beyond the declared storage period shown on bags and despatch documents.
