What does CEM I 52.5 R mean?

CEM I is the designation for Portland cement without any significant addition of other constituents. The number 52.5 refers to the minimum compressive strength of the cement in N/mm² after 28 days. The R stands for rapid: the cement reaches a higher strength early on than a variant without that letter. This is useful if you want to strip formwork quickly, continue working sooner, or load the substrate earlier.

What is Holcim CEM I 52.5 R used for?

Cement is a binding agent and is mixed with sand, gravel and water. Depending on the ratio, you make masonry mortar, plaster, screed or concrete with it. This strong cement is suitable for applications where strength and rapid hardening are important. Which mixing ratio you choose depends on the job, so follow the manufacturer's instructions or the guidance of your site manager or structural engineer.

What should you pay attention to when choosing and working with it?

First check whether the strength class and type match the requirements of your project. Fast-hardening cement gives you less working time, especially in warm weather, so work in smaller batches. Store the bags dry and covered, because moisture causes cement to clump and reduces its quality. When mixing, wear gloves, a dust mask and safety goggles, as cement in contact with damp skin can cause irritation.
