Phoenix is available in bulk tankers throughout the United Kingdom.

Properties:

Phoenix Portland-fly ash concrete – when compared with Tarmac bulk Portland cement concrete at the same cement content – has the following properties:

Slower strength development and potentially higher long-term strength.

The appropriate cement content for concrete of a given 28 day cube strength and slump should be determined from trial mixes.

The cement content may differ from that of an equivalent Portland cement (CEM I) concrete in certain circumstances. In particular, where a high strength concrete is required, the cement content may be slightly higher than for CEM I.

Slower setting times.

Reduced water demand.

Improved placing and finishing.

Darker in colour

Phoenix Portland-fly ash cement conforms to BS EN 197-1 CEM II/B-V 42,5N.

Conditions for use:

Concrete, mortars and grouts containing Portland Cements must be specified and used correctly for best performance.

The cement content must be correct and the water: cement ration as low as possible consistent with satisfactory placing, thorough compaction and effective curing.
