SUREROAD

Applications 

PPC SUREROAD 32,5 cement has been performance engineered to improve the engineering properties of soil by: 

• Reducing the plasticity index (PI); 
• Improving the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) and Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) of the host materials; 
• Enhancing durability and achieving superior performance with most road materials. 

Performance testing shows excellent performance with soil classes G5 and G6, and for road strength classes C3 and C4.  
 
To determine the optimum cement type and cement addition rate with site-specific soils, the UCS (MPa) and ITS (MPa) should be tested for a range of cement addition rates. 

Specifications 

SUREROAD is manufactured to conform to SANS 50197-1 for Common Cements, in the 32,5 N strength class and is available as a CEM II Portland-composite cement, extended with siliceous fly ash (V), blastfurnace slag, (S) and/or limestone (L). 

Storage of Bagged Cement 

• Cement should be stored in a weather proof shed or container 
• It should be closely packed, away from doors and windows 
• It should be packed off the floor, and on plastic 
• It should be covered with a plastic sheet or tarpaulin 
• It should be stored so as to ensure "first in - first out" use 

Safety 

• Do not stack bags more than 12 units high 
• Do not stack more than two pallets high 
• Pick up bags correctly to avoid injury 
• Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Cement and cement paste are highly alkaline and chemical burns may occur
