About Gray Cement
We are a Lucknow-based reputed company actively involved in supplying of Gray Cement to our valued customers. They are available in a packet of 50 kg and are completely sealed to protect them from moisture. This cement is widely used for making rigid structures such as buildings, boundaries, bridges, houses, and many others. They are highly appreciated by our clients for their less setting time, purity, and homogenous nature. Offered Gray Cement can be availed from us in bulk quantities at a reasonable price.
Features:
Superior Strength and Fast SettingOur Gray OPC cement provides a remarkable compressive strength of 53 MPa and an initial setting time of just 30 minutes. The result is a blend that accelerates construction timelines without compromising on structural integrity. The rapid and uniform hardening ensures each projectwhether RCC, precast, or brickworkmeets stringent engineering standards.
Certified Quality and Reliable StorageProduced to IS 269:2015 specifications, this cement features high chemical stability, minimal expansion (<10 mm), and low moisture (<1.5%) and chloride ( 0.1%) content. It is supplied in durable 50 kg PP sack bags and maintains optimal performance for up to six months when stored in dry conditions, making it ideal for bulk procurement and long-term projects.
Versatility in Construction ApplicationsEngineered from premium clinker, gypsum, and limestone, our OPC Grade 53 cement is compatible with fine river sand and supports diverse applications such as concrete mixing, masonry, plastering, and precast elements. The moderate heat of hydration and fast setting properties increase operational efficiency on-site, giving you flexibility across various construction challenges.
FAQs of Gray Cement:
Q: How should Gray OPC cement Grade 53 be stored to maximize its shelf life?
A: To ensure Gray OPC cement retains its quality, store it off the ground in a cool, dry area and keep the 50 kg PP sack bags sealed until use. When protected from moisture and contamination, its storage life is up to six months from the date of manufacturing.
Q: What are the benefits of using this cement for RCC and precast applications?
A: Its high compressive strength (53 MPa at 28 days) and rapid, uniform hardening make it ideal for RCC and precast uses. These features result in durable structures, reduced construction time, and increased reliability in high-load environments.
Q: When is the cement ready to work after mixing in construction processes?
A: The initial setting time is a minimum of 30 minutes, which provides sufficient working time for mixing and placing. The final setting time does not exceed 600 minutes, allowing the structure to gain early strength and proceed efficiently through construction stages.
Q: What process is followed to ensure the chemical stability of the cement?
A: The manufacturing process involves selecting quality raw materials (clinker, gypsum, and limestone) and maintaining low moisture, low chloride, and controlled alkali and SO3 content. This adherence to IS 269:2015 standards ensures consistent performance and minimizes risks like corrosion and expansion.
Q: Where is this cement most effectively used in construction projects?
A: It is best suited for applications requiring high strength and fine finishsuch as reinforced concrete, brickwork, general concrete mixing, masonry, plastering, and precast elements. Its moderate heat of hydration supports safer mass pours and reduces the risk of thermal cracking.
Q: What distinguishes this cement from standard products on the market?
A: This OPC Grade 53 cement offers finer particle size (3500 cm/g), superior compressive and bending strength, rapid setting, and compliance with strict IS 269:2015 standards. These qualities ensure enhanced durability, workability, and a high-quality finish in diverse construction environments.
