Quality
Steel Cement conforms to AS 3972 Type GB General and Special Purpose Cement. Independent Cement's specialised blending facilities provide consistent, homogeneous cement products with predictable performance characteristics. Continual blend analysis ensures tight controls on quality.

Durability
Specifically designed Steel Cement blends provide significant advantages over conventional GP cements including:

• Higher ultimate strength
• Improved sulphate resistance
• Greater resistance to Chloride Ion penetration
• Low heat of hydration reducing thermal stress cracking
• Lower shrinkage
• A more dense concrete matrix for improved durability

Workability
Steel Cements particle shape and increased volume of paste provides significant advantages in placement including:

• Improved workability
• More cohesive mix
• Extended working times

Designer Blends
Steel cement is manufactured in purpose-built, state-of-the-art blending facilities. This enables engineers to confidently specify any variation or combinations of cementitious materials to meet specific project requirements.

Versatility
Steel Cement blends provide engineers with cement products that are suitable for a wide range of applications including:

• Sulphate environments
• Aqueous and marine environments
• Mass concrete construction
• Domestics construction
• Precast products
• Mining applications

The Ecoblend range of cements are specifically formulated to reduce the environmental impacts of cementitious binders used in concrete and stabilisation products. Ecoblend uses supplementary cements such as slag and flyash to ensure a significantly lower product life cycle impact; it provides the option of using a binder with significantly less material input, energy input and emission output. A very low embodied energy material can be created.

Quality
The Ecoblend range of blended cements conforms to AS 3972 Type GB General and Special Purpose Cement. Independent Cement and Lime’s specialised blending facilities provide consistent, homogeneous cement products with predictable performance characteristics. Continual blend analysis ensure tight controls on quality.

Product Details
Ecoblend is a type GB cement conforming to AS3972. It consists of various specified proportions of Ordinary Portland Cement (GP), Ground Slag (GGBFS) and/or Fly ash (in the case of a triple blend). Ecoblend cement has a minimum supplementary cement material (SCM) component of 30%.

Availability
The Ecoblend range of products is available throughout New South Wales and Victoria in bulk or bagged form. Our branded “Australian Builders Type GB” bagged cement conforms to and carries the “Good Environmental Choice” label as part of the Ecoblend range.

Designer Blends
Modern Environmentally Sound Design often requires a flexible engineering approach. Independent Cement is conscious of these engineering requirements, and will blend to meet specific project requirements. The Ecoblend range is available in many combinations of blends, with a supplementary cement content over 30%.

Environmental Qualifications
Good Environmental Choice label – Independent Cement's Ecoblend, Australian Builders (Type GB) and Steel Cement has achieved the Good Environmental Choice declaration, offered by Australian Environmental Labelling Association Inc (AELA). 3rd party accreditation to ISO 14,024 "Environmental Product Declaration" verifying Ecoblend's:

• Environmentally preferable characteristics
• Are fit for purpose
• Meet environmental best practice
• Manufacturer complies to a high standard with worker obligations – www.aela.org.au

Quality
Steel Pave is manufactured under tightly controlled conditions in a sophisticated computerised plant. Special blending plants produce consistent, homogeneous stabilisation products with predictable performance characteristics. Blending operations ensure tight controls on quality.

Durability
Steel Pave has significant advantages in pavement stabilisation and recycling over conventional GP cements due to:

• Higher ultimate strength is developed over time leading to stronger pavements
• Lower heat of hydration reduces the likelihood of thermal stress cracking
• Lower shrinkage reduces potential for cracking

Workability
One of the most significant features of Steel Pave products is their increased working time over conventional cementitious materials resulting in:

• Improved workability this is critically important with deep lift recycling work
• Increased time for mixing and compaction
• Improved pavement finish and ride due to more time for grading
• Improved pavement durability can be expected from the quality
• improvement made possible by the increased workability

Designer Blends
Steel Pave products are manufactured in purpose-built, state-of-the-art blending facilities. This enables engineers to confidently specify any variation or combination to meet specific project requirements.

Versatility
Steel Pave products have applications in a diverse range of situations including:

• Deep lift recycling
• Pavement construction
• Soil stabilisation
• Building sites
• Pavement rehabilitation
• Maintenance and patching
• Mining site works
