Typical Analysis and Physical Properties

The listed tests below are typical and for information only. Analytical details of the product should be sought in writing from the Tiger Cement Company.

Chemical Analysis

 

Parameters	Tiger Cement Typical Results	Standard Requirement EN 197-1 BS 12-1996
Loss on Ignition %	2.0	5.0% Max
Insoluble residue %	0.5	1.5% Max
Sulphate as SO3 %	2.5	3.5% Max
Chloride %	0.05	0.1% Max
Alkali Equivalent %	0.57	0.60% Max

 

Physical Properties

 

SOUNDENESS -By using most modern Kiln feeding system, it is ensured that lime entering into the Kiln should be in such a shape that it should totally combine with oxides during the burning process. The result is that the frees lime content is very low and soundness of Tiger Cement is less than 1 mm which is far better than 10 mm prescribed by Pakistan Standard PSS 232-1983 ( R) and / or British Standard EN 197 Class 42.5 N.

 

Fineness
Sieve Residue Over 45µm%	9-11
Fineness by Blaine cm2/g	3200-3300

 

Setting Behavior

 

SUPERIOR STRENGTH, OPTIMUM SETTING TIMES AND MINIMUM EXPANSION – These are the three benchmarks adopted by Tiger Cement Company which is emerging to be the largest cement plant of Asia and committed to provide the best quality cement to its customers around the globe through stringent quality control and application of most modern quality control techniques.

 

OPTIMUM SETTING TIME - Optimal initial & final setting times are ensured by adopting special production parameters using most modern control techniques.

 

	Typical Results	Standard Requirement EN 197-1 BS 12-1996
Standard Consistency %	27.5
Initial Setting Time (minutes)	150	60Min.
Final Setting Time (hours)	4:30	10h

 

Compressive Strength Performance Mortar EN 196-1 Testing Method

 

SUPERIOR STRENGTH -The compressive strength is a very important factor of cement. The Ordinary Portland Cement achieves its maximum strength in 28 days. The Pakistan standard PSS 232-1983 (R) & British Standard EN 197 Class 42.5 N provides for 28 days strength of 5000Psi and 5950 PSI respectively for mortar cubes. As compared to this Tiger Cement has a 28 days compressive strength of more than 7,000 PSI to bear heavy loads.

 

	Typical Results	Standard Requirement EN 197-1 BS 12-1996
Early strength – 2days (N/mm2)	22.5	20.0Min. for 42.5 R
Standard Strength – 28days (N/mm2)	50.0	42.5Min. and 62.5 Max for 42.5 R

Application

The product has been designed to give enhance concrete properties in the fresh “wet” state with adequate high early strength levels upon setting and hardening. TIGER OPC is used in all general construction especially in major prestigious projects where cement has to meet stringent quality requirements. It can be used in concrete, mortars and grouts etc. Tiger OPC is compatible / consumable with admixture / retarders etc.
