JSW Cement is dedicated to producing solutions that enhance the strength of buildings while also considering the need for environmentally sustainable building materials. We are bridging the gap between consumer satisfaction and eco-efficiency with the help of our cement products.

Cement is a fine powder composed mainly of limestone, clay, and other minerals that have undergone calcination, a chemical reaction that occurs when they are fired at high temperatures in a kiln. Clinker, a byproduct of this process, is ground into a fine powder and then combined with small amounts of gypsum to form cement.

Cement is an adaptable material used in various construction applications. Some of its common uses include:

- Concrete: Cement is a critical component in concrete, which is used for constructing foundations, walls, columns, roofs, and floors. Concrete is admired for its strength, durability, and adaptability, and is used in everything from private homes to large-scale infrastructure projects.

- Mortar: Cement is combined with sand and water to create mortar, which is used to hold bricks, stones, and other materials together in masonry construction.

- Stucco: Cement is also used in stucco, a kind of plaster applied to the exterior of buildings to produce a durable, weather-resistant surface.

- Grout: Cement-based grout is used to fill gaps between tiles or masonry blocks in construction projects.

- Roads and bridges: Cement is used in the construction of roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects, where it is used to create strong, durable foundations and supports.

- Precast concrete: Cement is used in the production of precast concrete products such as pipes, blocks, and panels, which are used in a variety of construction applications.

  • - Decorative uses: Cement can also be used for decorative purposes, such as producing textured surfaces, artistic sculptures, or stamped and colored concrete surfaces.

Overall, cement is an essential material in construction, providing strength, durability, and stability to a wide range of building projects.

Types of cement at JSW

Concrete HD Cement

Our next-generation green cement, JSW Concreel HD, was created to satisfy all specifications for concrete-based construction. Superior cohesiveness and improved chemical resistance are both features of the product. The features include green products, the most durable in concrete mix, improved early and later strength, quick setting, superior cohesion, and chemical resistance.

Advantages

  • Quick de-shuttering of structures
  • Less susceptible to crack formation
  • Ease of placement
  • Initiation of hardening at the right time
  • Increased life of the structure
  • Less susceptible to chemical attacks

Compcem (Composite Cement)

Our composite cement is a ground-breaking product created for concrete-based construction needs. It is the ideal combination of silica, highly reactive slag, and clinker of the highest grade. This makes it perfect for applications requiring strength, including beams, columns, slabs, and foundations. The features include high strength, improved workability, more durable, sustainable construction, superior smooth finish, and high resistance to chemical attack.

Advantages

  • Increases safety of structures
  • Protects embedded reinforcement
  • Reduces concrete bleeding and segregation
  • provides good substrate for painting and other decorative works
  • Adds stability and is easier to maintain
  • Reduces CO2 emissions

Power Pro Cement is an environmentally friendly product that conforms to IS 455:2015 standards. It has excellent durability and high strength, making it resistant to harsh chemicals found in the environment. This cement offers several features such as fast setting, high early strength, and eco-friendliness. It is specifically designed for heavy-duty requirements, providing a safe and sturdy construction solution.

  • Additionally, Power Pro Cement has several advantages, including its ability to withstand chemical attacks. It also has a fast setting time, which makes it easy to place. Furthermore, this cement is protected from corrosion, which means it incurs less maintenance cost.

Portland Slag Cement (PSC) is a type of blended cement that increases structure durability by substituting some of the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS). PSC has advantages over OPC, including a longer lifespan, resistance to chemical attack, and reduced thermal cracks. Benefits of PSC include ultimate compressive strength, better compatibility with admixtures, excellent resistance to chloride and sulfate attacks, ease of pumping, low risk of cracking, improved workability, better resistance against alkali-silica reaction, superior finish, and minimized shrinkage cracks.

Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is a commonly used cement in concrete construction work, especially when high early strength and fast setting are required. OPC can be used alone or mixed with mineral admixtures such as fly ash and GGBS based on the specific requirements of the construction site. It provides several benefits such as faster de-shuttering of formwork, increased speed of construction, and high early strength.

Advantages:

- Quick setting and early strength

- Can be used with various minerals and mixtures

- Faster de-shuttering
