When it comes to meeting aesthetic or safety objectives requiring whiter, brighter, or colored concrete, Çimsa White Cement is the best option for all types of architectural or structural concrete construction.

Super White Cement Portland cement (OPC) Type I is governed by ASTM C150 whereas White Blend Portland Limestone cement (PLC) Type IL is governed by ASTM C595.

Portland Limestone Cement (PLC) is a type of cement that is produced by blending Portland cement clinker with limestone. PLC typically contains between 5% and 15% limestone, which is why it is considered a blended cement. This composition results in cement with a lower embodied energy compared to OPC. The reduced embodied energy in PLC is due to the lower carbon footprint associated with the production of limestone, which requires less energy to mine and process than to produce OPC. Overall, PLC is an eco-friendly option that offers similar performance characteristics to OPC, while making concrete a more sustainable and environmentally friendly choice in the construction industry.

Çimsa White Cement can be easily colored with pigments. Whether a bold red or a subtle beige, adding pigments to Çimsa White Cement can help achieve the desired color, making concrete a versatile and creative option for any construction project.

Both Yes and No. While substituting an ingredient in the current mix, the other ingredients may need to be adjusted for the required performance as general rules of thumb.

It's important to adhere to industry-wide concrete and/or plaster best practices to ensure the quality and durability of any application. This includes following proper mixing and curing procedures, as well as using high-quality materials and equipment. Additionally, if you're aiming to achieve a specific color with your concrete, it's crucial to avoid any contamination factors throughout the entire process. This might involve using clean tools and equipment, preventing dust and debris from entering the mix, and ensuring that it is protected from any environmental factors that could alter its color. By taking these steps, you can help ensure that your white or colored concrete turns out exactly as you intended, with a consistent, vibrant hue that stands the test of time.

Yes, for consistency and to avoid deviations, the clinker, limestone and gypsum are being supplied from the same sources, Çimsa’s own quarries.

All raw materials are received from Turkiye with 50.000 MT vessels and ground to powder cement in Çimsa Americas Plant at Watco Greens Port, 13609 Industrial Road, Houston, Texas 77015.

Depending on the recipe, clinker, gypsum, and marble dust (high quality limestone) are inter-grinded in the Houston facility. There is no pre-blending or blending clinker operation in Houston.
