Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need sulfate-resistant cement?
It depends on soil analysis at your project site. If the analysis shows high sulfate levels, sulfate-resistant cement is required. Consult your structural engineer to determine the right type.
When do I need sulfate-resistant cement?
When the geotechnical report shows sulfates in the soil or groundwater above 0.2%, or for coastal and water-exposed projects.
What is the difference between ordinary and sulfate-resistant cement?
The key difference is the tricalcium aluminate content — much lower in sulfate-resistant cement, which slows the harmful chemical reactions that attack concrete.
Where can I buy sulfate-resistant cement in Riyadh?
Available from Almabsat with direct delivery to project sites in Riyadh, with Jeddah and the Eastern Province being phased in.
