Starting July 2022, BMIC launched its new (Cement CEM I 32.5 N) in a strategic step to diversify its market products with a new developed the lowest price although the same uses for all another Cements
BMIC’s cement product bears the market brand name “Al Tameer”, which is Arabic for construction. Al Tameer is Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) with the CEM I (32.5 N).
OPC is cement in general use around the world and the most active component of concrete. Originally extracted from Limestone, OPC’s name is derived from its similarity to Portland stone, a type of building stone that was quarried on the Isle of Portland, in Dorset, England. With the final product being a fine, grey powder, OPC is the result of grinding a dry mixture made up of clinker and gypsum to become”hydraulic cement (cement that not only hardens by reacting with water but also forms a water-resistant product).
During construction processes, OPC is mixed with water, which helps for it to harden. This initial setting lends OPC its characteristics of strength, water resistance and durability.
Applications:
It is used in all types of concrete constructions such as reinforced buildings, water tanks, roads, bridges, and all construction works that are not exposed to the direct impact of sulfate salts.
Shelf Time:
It is recommended to re-test the product after six weeks of production date.
Safety recommendations:
1-Avoid contact with eyes and skin since it may cause allergic reactions
2-Gloves, goggles, and a filter mask should be used for protection, and hands should be washed after contact
3-After any cement sets, the hardened mass loses chemical reactivity and can be safely touched without gloves.
Packaging:
Available in standard packing of 50 KG in paper bag, jumbo plastic bags of 500Kg/ 1000Kg/ 1500Kg, or in bulk as per requirement of users.
Storage:
Cement should preferably be stored in dry places, on elevated wooden planks to keep piles away from moist ground
For extra safety during rain, or when the bags are to be stored for long periods, cover the pile with a polythene sheet
Keep the stacked pile up to a maximum of 10 bags high
Shelf Time:
It is recommended to re-test the product after six weeks of production date
Packaging:
Available in standard packing of 50 KG in paper bag, jumbo plastic bags of 500Kg/ 1000Kg/ 1500Kg, or in bulk as per requirement of users.
Cleaning cement off tools:
Before setting, cement could be easily washed off with running water.
After setting, using mechanical methods
Disposal:
It is advisable and recommended to follow local environmental instructions and regulations during the disposal of cement. It is not to be disposed of into water or arable soil.
Production Capacity:
Al Tameer production line started operations in 2012 with an intended production capacity reaching 1.5 million tons annually. The production line has been built with development phases planned and underway for both increased production as well as increased varieties of cement products.
