Mix Guidance

Recommended volume-based examples (from Cement Australia):

Packaging & Storage

• Supplied in 20 kg multi‑wall paper sacks, with bulk options (500 kg, 1 tonne) available.

• Storage: Store off the ground, in dry conditions—exposure to moisture may cause premature hydration and reduce usability. Bagged cement older than 6‑12 months may degrade in performance.

Compatibility & Handling

• Compatible with supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash (AS 3582.1) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (AS 3582.2), and with chemical admixtures in accordance with AS 1478.

• Use clean water, accurately measure constituents, and apply appropriate curing (water spray, wet sand or polyethylene cover for at least seven days) to optimise strength and durability.

• Safety: Highly alkaline. Avoid dust inhalation (use masks), protect skin and eyes (goggles, gloves), and clean equipment promptly after use.
