“BharathiUltraFast” is Premium quality cement promoting Greener Construction which is produced with Robotic Technology. This is one of the best inventions for Engineers and Masons for all concrete applications.

“BharathiUltraFast”,  is having  higher advantage and complete package of benefits of standard OPC 53 cement available in market.

ADVANTAGES:

1. FASTER SETTING TIME:

• This gives faster Pre Casting work even in humid conditions.

2. HIGHER 1 DAY STRENGTH:

• High early strength of concrete allows for faster removal of the Form Work (De Shuttering), thereby improving the productivity.

3. HIGHER 28 DAYS STRENGTH:

• Higher later strength gives superior durability for concrete structure. It increases the structural stability of concrete slabs, beams and heavy load bearing applications.
• “BharathiUltraFast” has a superior advantages of continuous strength gain property even after 28 days.

4. UNMATCHED DURABILITY:

• Low Heat of Hydration of Cement
