Why Cement Choice Matters for Fly Ash Bricks
Fly ash bricks rely on a blend of fly ash, sand, lime, and cement for structural integrity. The cement you use directly affects the:
- Compressive strength
- Durability
- Workability
- Curing time
Top Cement Types for Fly Ash Bricks
1. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)
- Best For: High-strength bricks.
- Advantages: Faster setting time and high compressive strength.
- Recommended Grades: OPC 43 and OPC 53 for better bonding and durability.
2. Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC)
- Best For: Sustainable and economical production.
- Advantages: Improved resistance to chemical attacks, better workability, and a lower carbon footprint.
- Why It’s Popular: PPC blends seamlessly with fly ash, enhancing long-term durability.
3. Sulphate Resistant Cement (SRC)
- Best For: Projects exposed to high levels of sulphate, such as waterlogged areas.
- Advantages: Prevents sulphate attacks, increasing the lifespan of bricks.
4. Low Heat Cement
- Best For: Mass brick production.
- Advantages: Reduces heat generation during hydration, preventing cracks in large-scale fly ash brick manufacturing.
5. Rapid Hardening Cement (RHC)
- Best For: Quick-turnaround projects.
- Advantages: Short curing time and early strength gain, ideal for fast-paced construction timelines.
