Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)
Popularly known as grey cement, OPC has 96% clinker and 4% gypsum and other materials. It accounts for 60% of the total consumption.
We manufacture two different grades of OPC - 53 grade and 43 grade.
Portland cement derives its name from its similarity to Portland stone, which was quarried on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England. It was named by Joseph Aspdin, an English cement manufacturer, who obtained a patent for it in 1824.
