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 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 used as an SCM in the production of cement and concrete

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.
