ASTM Type IL (10)/Low Alkali Portland Limestone Cement

Medcem Cement factory was built by Medcem Madencilik ve Yapi Malzemeleri San Tic AŞ with the highest environmental awareness by using the latest technological systems and started its production activities in the second half of 2015.

Medcem Cement has an annual clinker production capacity of 3.5 million tons.

Our factory, whose production is mostly planned for export, aims to become a rapidly expanding and recognized brand in the world by steadily increasing its market share in the global market.

In the cement industry, various efforts are being made to reduce the environmental impact of cement by increasing the use of alternative fuels, adding substitute materials to cement, and incorporating limestone additives, among other sustainable practices. Many of these initiatives will also contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of concrete. These efforts aim to develop products that offer high performance and durability with lower clinker content, thereby reducing the carbon footprint. Our high-performance Portland limestone cement product, produced according to ASTM C595/C595M cement standard, has a lower clinker content of 6-15% compared to ordinary Portland cement. This allows for a reduction in carbon footprint without compromising the performance of concrete. Furthermore, its chemical composition meets low alkali requirements, making it resistant to alkali-aggregate reactions in concrete.
