Rizal Portland Super
Rizal Portland Super Type 1P cement is specially formulated and manufactured with natural minerals to provide additional properties not found in ordinary Portland cement. The natural mineral component (Philippine Tuff) ensures increased strength and durability over time. This has long secured Rizal Portland Super as the builder's choice for structures that last for generations to come.
|
|
 |
Rizal Portland Super is used for the following applications:
- All-purpose cement for general construction applications, especially where structures are exposed to moderate sulfate environments or to chloride attack
- Roads, pavements, bridges, foundations, columns and slabs
- Pre-cast and pre-fabricated concrete products such as pipes, hollow blocks, pavers, floor and roof tiles
- Tanks, reservoirs, culverts, waterpipes & masonry units

| Benefits |
|
Features |
| 1.- Higher ultimate strength |
|
With the passage of time, the natural mineral component in Rizal Portland Super has the ability to glue aggregates together and gives concrete its strength. This reaction continues until eventually compressive strength exceeds that of concrete using ordinary Portland cement. |
| |
| 2.- Reduced permeability |
|
The reaction between the natural minerals of Rizal Portland Super and the lime produced during
cement hydration effectively fills the void spaces between the fine aggregates, creating a more compact concrete that is less permeable to water, sulfates and other chemical agents that can attack the concrete and its steel reinforcements. This keeps away harmful sulfates and chlorides which often bring about cracking and concrete deterioration. |
| |
| 3.- Reduced expansion and heat of hydration and improved long-term durability |
|
For massive structures, Rizal Portland Super reduces thermal-induced stresses that may lead to cracking and loss of structural integrity. This is because the natural minerals in Rizal Portland Super decrease the heat generated during cement hydration, reducing the high temperature differentials in the structure that lead to internal stresses. |
| |
| 4.- Moderate sulfate resistant type of cement |
|
It passes the requirement for Moderate Sulfate Resistant Cement. Mortar expansion in sodium sulfate solution, observed at the six month and one year intervals, shows that it can withstand severe reactions with salts that destroy concrete. It is suitable for applications near the sea, such as harbors and piers, where sulfate content is high. RIZAL PORTLAND SUPER is not as reactive to sulfates unlike other Portland cements. This ensures that structures are durable because its sulfate resistance prolongs the life of exposed concrete. |

Rizal Masonry Cement
Rizal Masonry Cement is a Type M masonry cement that earns its name as the sustainable alternative to other types of cement in masonry applications. It effectively minimizes the carbon footprint of regular Portland cement by as much as 32% thus, Rizal Masonry Cement is considered an environment-friendly type of cement. Through XD 100 nanotechnology, it allows better moisture retention and adhesion strength for improved usage.
|
|
 |
Rizal Masonry Cement is used for the following applications:
- Plastering (exterior and interior)
- CHB laying/ core filling
- Tile adhesive/ grouts and fabrication of decorative stone and stucco
- Other semi-structural masonry works (driveways, sidewalks, fencing)
- Ground floor slab concreting

|
Features |
| 1.- Savings both in labor costs and usage |
|
A bag of 36-kg Rizal Masonry Cement has the same plaster coverage of a regular 40-kg Portland
cement while also providing a smoother finish. |
| |
| 2.- Higher workability compared to traditional cement products |
|
A special characteristic of Rizal Masonry Cement is the water retention capability of mortar which
prevents water from quickly evaporating, and thus prevents the mix from drying up quickly. This makes the mortar workable over a certain period of time compared to ordinary Portland cement. |
| |
| 3.- Less plaster cracking |
|
The air entraining property of cement serves to relieve internal pressure that develops inside the mortar due to changes in temperature and moisture. |
| |
| 4.- Environment-friendly |
|
The carbon footprint is lowered by 32% as opposed to regular Portland cement. |

Palitada King Masonry Cement
Palitada King Masonry Cement is a Type S masonry cement specially formulated and manufactured to produce a mortar with superior properties for use in masonry applications. Its plastering prowess is made possible by XD PLUS™ - an air entraining, plasticizing admixture technology which yields plaster that is not only highly workable, but is also self healing. This makes Palitada King highly resistant to craze cracking. XD PLUS™ also allows you to save up to 30% more cement in plastering by covering more wall area per bag.
|
|
 |
Palitada King is used for the following applications:
- Laying of concrete hollow blocks and all other types of masonry units (e.g. bricks, stones, etc.)
- In-filling of concrete hollow blocks
- Plastering of external and internal walls
- Decorative finishes
- Used as an ingredient for tile grout, tile adhesive, and stucco
Benefits >>
| Benefits |
|
Features |
| 1.- Superior adhesion |
|
Performance additives ensure superior adhesion of mortar made with PALITADA KING. In addition, the mortar readily flows into the surface irregularities of masonry units, thus allowing more contact between the mortar and the masonry surface. |
| |
| 2.- Enhanced workability and longer board life |
|
The mortar is more convenient to prepare and use. It is easily spread and provides better grip on vertical surfaces. This assists masons in achieving a higher level of workmanship that results to an improvement in the quality and speed of masonry construction works, thus reducing costly back-jobs and reworks. Furthermore, masons do not have to stop to re-temper the mortar. This results to lower material and labor costs. |
| |
| 3.- Increased water retention and less cracking |
|
Mortar created from PALITADA KING is less prone to rapid dehydration during dry, hot, or windy days.
This minimizes shrinkage and stresses that lead to cracking. |
| |
| 4.- Smoother and lighter color |
|
Masonry wall finishes are smoother in texture and lighter in color which results to lower surface preparation and painting costs. |
