Type GU is the most commonly used variety. Most concrete used in residential and industrial applications is made by mixing this cement with water, sand, and stone. This mixture, for example, is used in the majority of commercial and residential applications.
Type HE is used for applications requiring quick setting concrete that develops strength rapidly. It is commonly used in emergency construction, in the manufacture of pre-cast products and in concrete repairs.
Masonry Cement "N" is designed to be used in a mortar for brick and concrete block structures. It has a uniform mixture of ingredients, which ensures that the mortar spreads evenly, adheres to bricks and blocks, and offers protection against freeze-thaw damage.
Masonry Cement "S" provides a high strength mortar designed for use where lateral strength of masonry is desired. Type S cement includes hydrated "s" lime and a proprietary package of admixtures, creating a mortar which exhibits superior bond characteristics and less shrinkage and cracking than other mortars resulting in greater protection from water penetration.
Type II is produced for our export market to conform to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. It is very similar to CSA Type 10 (Type GU) Cement. It contains no interground limestone and has a degree of sulphate resistance.
New! InterCem™ GUb is a blended general use cement produced by intergrinding Class F fly ash and cement clinker. The result is a highly consistent product that is strong, economical and easy to use. This product is used for general purpose applications where the special properties of other cement types are not required. Uses in concrete include pavements, floors, reinforced concrete buildings and other applications where T10 or GU cements are typically utilized.
New! InterCem™ HSb is a blended high sulphate resistant cement produced by intergrinding Class F fly ash and cement clinker. The result is a highly consistent product that is strong, economical and easy to use. This product is used in concrete exposed to severe sulphate action – principally where soils or ground waters have a high sulphate content.
