BIS CERTIFICATION FOR PORTLAND POZZOLANA CEMENT IS 1489 (PART 2)

In today's competitive market, sustaining a presence without a certified, high-quality product can be challenging. Selling products in the Indian market may necessitate obtaining a BIS license. To attain BIS certification and ensure product quality, manufacturers must ensure adherence to specified Indian standards.

IS 1489 (Part 2) encompasses Portland pozzolana cement - Calcined clay based. This standard focuses on the manufacturing, physical, and chemical prerequisites of Portland-pozzolana cement derived from calcined clay pozzolana or a blend of calcined clay.

Portland Pozzolana Cement, a variant of Blended Cement, is crafted by either inter-grinding Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) clinker with gypsum and pozzolanic materials in precise ratios or grinding OPC clinker, gypsum, and pozzolanic materials like fly ash separately, then thoroughly blending them in specific proportions.

PPC enhances workability, reduces segregation and bleeding, improves water-tightness, and minimizes lime leaching. It produces lower hydration heat and provides enhanced resistance against aggressive water containing sulphates and chlorides. Moreover, PPC increases the longevity of structures and boosts concrete strength over time by enhancing corrosion resistance and impermeability. Additionally, it safeguards against alkali-aggregate reaction in concrete.

TESTS

The specified tests must be conducted for PPC Calcined Clay based cement.
