The Eco Building Cement is a blend of high performance cement and mineral components, making it extremely durable. Eco Building Cement is designed to provide a smooth, defect-free finish for concrete, masonry and plaster work. The concrete it produces is less permeable, offering greater resistance to the penetration of harmful substances. It can be used in aggressive conditions and among its technical benefits are a high resistance to chloride ingress, reducing the risk of reinforcement corrosion as well as a high resistance to attacks by sulphates and other chemicals, thus preventing the early failure of concrete. It eliminates the risk of Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR), and is also ideal for soil stabilisation applications.
