Pronto Portland Cement Type HE

Pronto Portland Cement Type HE is a high early strength hydraulic cement. It is chemically and physically similar to Type GU cement, except, that its particles are ground finer for earlier strength gain.

Uses

Pronto Portland Cement Type HE is suitable for use in ready-mixed and site-batched concrete, concrete paving, well-cementing, precast and prestressed concrete, concrete pipe, concrete block and paver production. It is compatible with water-reducing, super plasticizing and air entraining admixtures as well as mineral admixtures.

Features

• suitable for a binding agent in masonry cement and Portland/lime mortar

Portland is classified in five major categories called types. The type of cement used in a project will depend on the application and the concrete’s performance requirements.

Directions

After concrete is placed, (between 50ºF and 75ºF) adequate curing is vital. Freshly mixed concrete contains more water than required for complete hydration of the cement. Good curing of the cement means that evaporation should be prevented or reduced. Sprinkle surface with water fog or cover surface with moisture-retaining fabrics such as burlap or cotton mats or even plastic spraying compound. The longer the concrete is kept moist, the stronger and more durable it will become.

Safety

Avoid direct contact with dry or wet Portland. Can cause irritation and severe burns to eyes and skin. Repeated inhalation can cause lung disease. Wear tight-fitting goggles, dust masks, protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. In case of eye contact, flush with water and seek immediate medical attention.
