Blended cement, like Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), improves the durability of your structure. It reacts with lime and water to form compounds that increase strength and reduce water absorption. This helps make the structure more resistant to sulphates, cracks, and leaks. Blended cement also improves workability and reduces the risk of damage from chemical reactions, making it a great choice for long-lasting construction.

Cement is a fine powder and easily absorbs moisture from the air. When this happens, it starts to hydrate. Hydrated cement does not perform well when used and won’t contribute effectively to the strength of the structure. Traditional jute (gunny) bags are not airtight or moisture-proof, so they don’t stop this from happening. However, cement stored in woven polythene or paper bags tends to hold up better. The condition of the storage space also plays a big role in how well the cement lasts. To avoid loss of quality, always use cement within 3 months of purchase. If stored longer, test its quality before use. Follow the "first-in, first-out" method to ensure fresh cement is used first during house construction.

To store cement properly and maintain its quality, follow these important precautions: (i) Always store bags in a fully weatherproof building or godown. Walls, roof, and floor should be moisture-free. (ii) Avoid storing bags in a newly constructed warehouse until it’s completely dry inside. (iii) Keep all doors and windows tightly shut. (iv) Don’t stack bags directly against walls or on floors unless the floor is dry concrete. Use wooden planks or sleepers underneath. (v) Stack the bags close together to prevent air circulation. (vi) Don’t pile more than 15 bags high. Arrange them in a header-and-stretcher pattern for stability. (vii) Avoid moving stored cement unnecessarily. (viii) When removing bags, don’t just take from the top. Step back two or three tiers for even usage. (ix) Always follow the “first-in, first-out” rule to prevent unused bags from staying too long. (x) At construction sites, avoid placing bags directly on the ground. Use a raised, dry platform and cover with a tarpaulin or polythene sheet to protect against moisture. Proper cement storage helps preserve strength and prevents waste.
