The story of cement in Brazil, and its types
The history of cement production development in Brazil and standardization of this material in the country is covered. At present, the current Brazilian cement standard provides for seven types of general-purpose Portland cement, differing in material composition and technical properties, as well as sulfate-resistant Portland cement. All cement produced in the country contains mineral additives, which helps reduce specific CO2 emissions during cement production.
