Strong cement helps you build a home that lasts a lifetime. The strength and longevity of cement depends on its granular composition along with its chemical constituents
Research proves that the unique particle size distribution of Duraguard cement helps in making a denser concrete, which prevents the porosity as well as the water ingress. The use of finest quality material helps in converting the free lime to cement, leading to prevention of leeching which ultimately gives higher impermeability. This also reduces development of cracks due to shrinkage & expansion of the structure caused by environmental stress and vagaries of nature.
Advantages
Lafarge Duraguard has uniform particle size distribution which ensures higher strength & durability and requires lesser amount of water during mixing. This reduces the voids inside the concrete mass, resulting in a product which becomes impermeable & non-porous in nature.
Superior grade fly ash and lesser percentage of unburnt carbon particles ensure better conversion of free lime into cement. It reduces the leeching of lime that prevents water ingress into the concrete mass. Ultimately the iron rods are protected from rusting.
Optimum Setting Properties eliminate deterioration of concrete during construction. This attribute avoids hindrances in the hydration process of the mortar and allows the mason adequate time to complete his task efficiently.
With Duraguard, concrete becomes almost impenetrable.
