What are the advantages and disadvantages of PPC over OPC? Advantages • It is economical as in PPC a part (25%) of costly clinker of OPC cementis replaced by cheaper pozzolanic material. • Reduction in the production of calcium hydroxide as PPC cementconsumes calcium hydroxide. Thus the calcium hydroxide is not produced as much as in the case of ordinary Portland cement. • It generates less heat of hydration at a low rate than ordinary Portland cement. • Reduction in permeability of PPC offers many other advantages, such as better durability than opc 53 cement.
Disadvantages • Less rate of development of strength initially than ordinary Portland cement. • It reduces the resistance to corrosion of steel reinforcement due to alkalinity reduction. But it improves permeability of concrete considerably. • Setting time is longer than opc 53 cement.
