Rapid Set cement is a rapid-hardening calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement, not a portland cement. The selection and proportioning of the raw materials, many refinements during the manufacturing process and comprehensive quality control of Rapid Set Cement yields high-quality, durable long-lasting applications.

Rapid Set cement based products are low shrink and the risk of cracking is greatly reduced. The products are also more resistant to sulfate attack. Rapid Set cement helps achieve stronger and more durable results on your projects.

Traditional cement, also known as Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), is the most common cement used in concrete. OPC is made by combining a mix of raw materials, usually limestone, clay and shale, at very high temperatures. Although OPC has been used successfully for hundreds of years, it has these limitations.

Portland cement concrete tends to shrink and crack excessively. It is susceptible to attack by prevalent chemicals such as sulfates. These limitations cause the concrete to become unsightly and less durable, increasing the possibility for structural problems.

With OPC based products you will need to repair or replace your projects more often.
