ASTM C150 Type I/II Portland Cement

The product is manufactured by grinding cement clinker and other main or minor constituents into a finely ground, grey colored mineral powder. It is just one ingredient in the mixture that creates concrete or mortar, but it is the most chemically active ingredient and crucial to the quality of the final product. It sets and becomes adhesive due to a chemical reaction between the dry ingredients and water. The chemical reaction results in mineral hydrates that are not very water-soluble and so are quite durable in water and safe from chemical attack. The investigated product is manufactured at AKÇANSA's Çanakkale Plant. Type I/II cement is typically considered a general-purpose cement and is most often used for general construction purposes, such as precast concrete products, reinforced buildings, floors, sewers, bridges, and pavements. Type I/II Portland cement satisfies requirements for both Type I and Type II. Strength requirements meet those for Type I, and composition requirements meet those for Type II. The dual-type cement can be used where either type is specified.
