Fly Ash
Cement
Fly ash is formed from the non-combustible minerals found in coal. Fly ash particles are spherical in shape and are 4 times finer than cement. Calcium hydroxide produced when cement hydrates along with the lime of cement activates the fly ash particles creating strength gain of 10-15% from 28 to 56 days. Fly ash also aids pumping, finishing, permability, and sulfate attack.
Portland Cement is the catalyst for strength and set time in plastic concrete. Cement is a wide blend of natural minerals including Lime, Calcium, Iron, Silicates, and Aluminum. Limestone morrow is 80% of portland cement, 10% Gypsum, 10% Bottom Ash. Cement raw material is heated to 2700 degrees and cooled. Cement Clinker is ground to a fine powder. It is bulked shipped and usually pneumatically blown into concrete plant silos.
Ready Mix Concrete
Ready Mix Concrete is a product procuced locally from Cements, sand, stone, water, and chemical admixture. Available in multiple strength it is the most versitale construction material available today. Ready Mix concrete is proportioned by weight and transported by volume via specialized trucks that deliver directly to your jobsite.
