Technical purpose of product or process CEM III/B 42.5L/SR is a sulfate-resistant blast furnace cement, specially designed for the production of both mass and reinforced concretes that must withstand severe environmental conditions. With a compressive strength of 42.5 MPa at 28 days, it provides a solid and reliable basis for structures that require high durability and structural capacity, even in demanding environments. Its formulation incorporates a high content of ground granulated blast furnace slag, which allows for a significant reduction in clinker content and, consequently, a notable decrease in CO₂ emissions during production. This balance between technical performance and sustainability makes CEM III/B 42.5L/SR cement an ideal choice for projects seeking to combine strength, durability, and reduced environmental impact. This cement strictly complies with EN 197-1:2011, which regulates the requirements for common cements. In addition, it meets the specifications of RC-16, included in R.D. 256/2016 on cement reception, as well as the Structural Code approved on June 29, 2021. Altogether, this ensures a safe, efficient product of high quality standards, ideal for large-scale construction works.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
