Choosing the right type of cement is crucial for the success and longevity of any construction project. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types of cement used in Nepal:

1. OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement)

  • Available in 43 and 53 grades
  • High early strength
  • Ideal for RCC, bridges, columns, and high-rise structures

2. PPC (Portland Pozzolana Cement)

  • Made by blending OPC with pozzolanic materials (like fly ash)
  • Better durability and chemical resistance
  • Used in residential construction, plastering, and water-retaining structures

3. White Cement

  • Used for decorative finishes and tile grouting

4. Other Innovations

  • Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)
  • Cellular Lightweight Concrete (CLC) for green building

Why Sarbottam Stands Out

 Sarbottam offers high-quality OPC and PPC, produced using VRM technology and raw materials from its own mine—ensuring consistency and performance.

Conclusion:

 Each cement type has its purpose, but when it comes to choosing a reliable brand, Sarbottam Cement delivers on all fronts.
