The best roof cement in India includes OPC53 grade and PPC cement, brand name Ambuja plus Roof Special Cement, ACC Gold, ACC F2R, Shri Roofon Concrete Master, Ramco Supercrat Cement. The strength of PPC is good than OPC in long terms. It has high heat of hydration making it unfavorable for mass concreting. The hydration process is slower than OPC resulting low heat of hydration. Therefore, it is suitable for mass concreting. PPC has an edge on OPC as PPC has slower rate of heat of hydration. Thereby PPC is prone to less cracks & reduced shrinkage), better workability and finishing (as fly ash based cement are spherical in shape and finer in size). Disadvantages of Portland Pozzolana Cement The initial strength obtained is less, which effect the de-shuttering of supports early. As it contains more fine material, handing of concrete is difficult. PPC has a relatively low heat emission process as compared to OPC and hence the finer shrinkage cracks which are normally seen on fresh RCC slab cast with higher grade cement are not seen with PPC.

ULTRATECH,AMBUJA, ACC,RAMCO,JSW, THE INDIAN CEMENT LTD. The following are the best types of cement used for house construction.: Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Portland Pozzolano Cement (PPC) Ordinary portland Cement OPC is popular and widely used for construction works for a very long time. Advantages It attains strength in less time. It is available in grades: Grade 33, Grade 43, Grade 53. Grade 33 & Grade 43 OPC cement are the old grade of cement used for residential construction and nowadays it is replaced by OPC 53 grade cement. Portland Pozzolano Cement The use of pozzolanic materials imparts better properties to the cement.The strength of this cement is equivalent to OPC 53 Grade cement. Advantages It is cheaper than OPC. It facilitates better workability Better resistance against chemical One thing you should keep in mind while choosing between OPC and PPC is how many days you want to remove formwork.The concrete mix made from PPC takes more time to set than OPC. OPC 53 Grade cement is suitable for all RCC structures like footing,column,beams and slabs.Where initial and ultimate strength is the major structural requirement. PPC is used for masonry, plaster,tiling works as initial strength is not a prime factor.It not only reduces the cost of construction but also helps in improving the quality of structures. Best cement for Roof Construction As a roof is the one of the important parts of the structure, it must be constructed with best quality cement. Ultra Tech cement is the best for roof construction of houses. Because Ultra Tech assures quality check parameters of cement.
