About this grade
Origin: Algeria.
Ciment Portland au Calcaire CEM II/A-L 42,5N is produced at a certified Algerian cement plant by co-grinding over 80% clinker with 8–16% limestone and ~4% gypsum. Certified to EN 197-1:2012, it delivers actual 28-day strengths of 45.29 MPa (spec ≥42.5 MPa) with faster initial set (≥60 min) than the 32,5N grade. Ideal for masonry, paving, ordinary reinforced/unreinforced concrete, road works, soil stabilization, and ready-mix concrete. Supplied in 50 kg bags or in bulk by truck/rail.
