• Minimum Resistance at 28 days 40 N/mm² (408 kg/cm²)
• Setting time
  Initial: 45 minutes (minimum)
  Final: 600 minutes (maximum)
• Volume stability in autoclave
  Maximum expansion 0.8%
  Maximum shrinkage 0.20%
• Maximum expansion due to sulphate attacks 0.1% over one year

Most important chemical characteristic

• Maximum sulfur trioxide 4.0%

The CPC 40 RS cement is ideal for building structural elements in general and any kind of work.

Concretes produced with this cement are more workable, which makes easier to place, and compact, while increasing its durability.

• In case of contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water.
• Non-toxic product, not harmful in normal use.

Uso

• Use good quality sand, gravel, and water.
• Use with the least amount of water possible to obtain the desired slump.
• Mix thoroughly for obtaining a uniform concrete.
• Place and compact the concrete as best as possible.
• Cure for at least 7 days to obtain a high quality concrete.

Handling bulk cement

• Store the cement in silos, making sure they are covered and that there are no residues of other products.
• If it is not stored in silos, keep the cement protected from humidity, place it in clean surfaces or containers.

BIG BAG

With a weight from 1.5 to 2 tons, it is ideal for transformers that use it for pre-manufactured elements; as well as works requiring rapid resistance.

Special equipment for its handling is required, such as forklifts or if applicable loader backhoes or hiab with enough capacity.
