Extraordinary

with ADVANCEMENT™

ADVANCEMENT™ is a new line of blended hydraulic cements that represents CalPortland’s commitment to the environment.



With up to 15% limestone by mass, ADVANCEMENT™ generates approximately 10% less CO2 to reduce the embodied energy per ton of cement.

Description: A high-sulfate resistant ternary (three-part) blend of clinker, limestone and pozzolan that can be used in sulfate rich environments at or below grade.

Benefits: When compared to ASTM C150 cement, manufacturing Advancement HPT produces 20-25% less CO₂ while maintaining product performance requirements.

Uses: A general purpose cement suitable for most concrete construction.

Description: A lighter, higher albedo, non sulfate resistant, portland-limestone cement (PLC) blend of Type III clinker and limestone.

Benefits: When compared to ASTM C150 cement, manufacturing ADVANCEMENT LT produces approximately 10% less CO2 while maintaining product performance requirements.

Uses: concrete masonry units, architectural precast products, custom color stucco blends, ready mix concrete and precast concrete.

Description: A high-sulfate resistant portland-limestone cement (PLC) blend of Type I/II/V clinker and limestone that can be used in sulfate rich environments at or below grade.

Benefits: When compared to ASTM C150 cement, manufacturing Advancement HS produces approximately 10 % less CO₂ while maintaining product performance requirements.

Uses:

HS is a general-purpose cement suitable for most concrete construction including:

• Buildings, bridges, culverts, freeways, water treatment facilities and storage structures
• Prestressed, precast concrete products
• Package products such as bagged premix concrete, mortars and grouts
• Concrete products like pipe, roof tiles, manholes, septic tanks, etc.

Description: A supplementary cementitious material (SCM consisting of natural pozzolan blended with Type II/V portland cement. Natural pozzolans are a siliceous or silico-aluminous material that will, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds having cementitious properties. )

Benefits: Reduces CO2 in the manufacturing process by ~10% vs. common ASTM C150 cement.

Uses: NP is a general-purpose blended cement suitable for most concrete construction.

Description: CO₂NFIDENCE™ is a natural pozzolan product that can be used as a replacement for flyash.

Benefits: Pozzolans are a broad class of siliceous or siliceous and aluminous materials which, in themselves, possess little or no cementitious value but which will, when finely ground and in the presence of water, react chemically with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperature to form compounds possessing cementitious properties in concrete.

Uses: CO₂NFIDENCE™ is used as an SCM in the production of cement and concrete.
