“For the first time, we are introducing a new premium product with higher strength, more coverage, faster setting along with anti-rust properties in BOPP bags which are spill, moisture and temper proof,” chairman Kailash Chandra Lohia said.

The revolutionary product with Mono-molecular Layer Technology has multiple benefits of superior strength with higher durability; better workability with increase cohesiveness, which prevents bleeding in concrete and thus achieving better finishing of concrete, he said.

The shorter final setting time helps masons in early removal of form works and quick construction, the company said Lohia.

And we are happy to introduce a product which will fulfil this need of the customers.”

This cement is made from high-quality clinker along with special additives which make the concrete highly strong and durable, the company said.

Topcem Solid Dhalai Cement (SDC) gives more coverage, higher strength, less cement consumption for targeted strength due to higher blaine and fineness. Anti-corrosive property is another special feature thus guarding against rusting of steel surface in concrete, the company said.
