Locally produced rapid hardening cement has been engineered for projects requiring high early strength and helps fast-track projects that need early formwork stripping, bridge launching and higher sliding rates. Favoured for specialist precast products and quicker demoulding times, AfriSam’s Rapid Hard Cement can help accelerate product manufacturing timelines.

The cement boasts superior early strength, making it ideal for projects that demand a quick turnaround, such as fast-track precast construction projects, as well as specialist precast products and products requiring quicker demoulding times.

The fineness of the cement provides a larger surface area to react with water, increasing the rate of hydration which aids higher early-strength development. The rapid hydration rate also makes it suitable for use in cold weather.

The cement also facilitates the quick removal of formwork, enabling faster progress on site and reducing downtime and labour costs. In addition, consistent quality and strength contribute to the long-term integrity of structures, minimising the need for repairs and maintenance.
