    WHITE CEMENT CONCRETE AND COLORED CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION and developers Owners seeking dynamic architectural results demand the benefits that only white or colored concrete can deliver. Informed designers rely on careful selection of materials and attention to mixing and placement details to achieve eye-catching architectural and decorative finishes. Because of its versatility, concrete offers endless design possibilities. A wide variety of decorative looks are achieved by using colored aggregates and pigments, and by varying surface finishes, treatments, and textures. Combining white cement with pigments and colored aggregates expands the number of colors available to discerning customers. Colors are cleaner and more intense because pigments and specialty Figure 1.

  • Cement Data Sheet
    42 CEMENT (Data in thousand metric tons unless otherwise noted) Domestic Production and Use: In 2019, U.S. portland cement production increased by 2.5% to 86 million tons, and masonry cement production continued to remain steady at 2.4 million tons. Cement was produced at 96 plants in 34 States, and at 2 plants in Puerto Rico. U.S. cement production continued to be limited by closed or idle plants, underutilized capacity at others, production disruptions from plant upgrades, and relatively inexpensive imports. In 2019, sales of cement increased slightly and were valued at $12.5 billion. Most cement sales were to make concrete, worth at least $65 billion. In 2019, it was estimated that 70% to 75% of sales were to ready-mixed concrete producers, 10% to concrete product manufactures, 8% to 10% to contractors, and 5% to 12% to other customer types. Texas, California, Missouri, Florida, Alabama, Michigan, and Pennsylvania were, in descending order of production, the seven leading cement-producing States and accounted for nearly 60% of U.S. production.

These include marine environments, roads and bridges exposed to de-icing salt, etc. The time it takes for the chlorides to reach the reinforcement is the main parameter used to predict the service life of the concrete structures.

  • Castle White Portland Cement Complies with the Requirements
    Hanson White Portland Cement Data Sheet Hanson White Portland Cement is manufactured to comply with the requirements of BS EN 197-1 CEM I Portland cement strength class 52,5. Hanson White Portland Cement is recommended for use in concrete, mortar and render with or without pigments. The setting and strength characteristics of Hanson White Portland Cement are similar to grey Portland cements. Hanson white cement is CE marked under the Construction Products Regulations which provides independent third party certification of product conformity. It confirms that in addition to applying a system of factory production control (defined in BS EN 197-2), independent sampling and testing of the cement has confirmed its compliance with all of the requirements of BS EN 197-1 Applications Hanson White Portland Cement is naturally chosen for its high degree of light reflection. To obtain white or light coloured concrete specially selected white or light coloured sand and stone aggregates are required. Coloured concretes and renders are achieved by adding pigments specifically designed for the use with Portland cement and Portland cement products. For extremely white concrete the white pigment Titanium Dioxide may be added in amounts of up to 5% by weight. Typical applications for Hanson White Portland Cement include: • cast stone • rendering • cladding panels • roadmarking, kerbs and bollards • exposed aggregate finishes • structural concrete • floor and wall tiles • swimming pools • pointing mortars • terrazzo finishes • precast units Quality Hanson White Portland Cement is manufactured from specially produced white Portland clinker using carefully selected raw materials avoiding minerals which would colour the final cement. The resultant clinker is ground in ceramic lined mills to ensure an excellent degree of whiteness.
