Product description, specification and uses

All cement produced by Solid Cement (Antipolo) and APO Cement (Cebu) are made using the highest quality materials and processes and are manufactured under ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001 Quality Management Systems.


Island and APO Portland Cement Type 1, is used for general construction, such as in structures, walls, floors, pavements, sidewalks and prefabricated elements and others. It exceeds the requirements and specifications of ASTM C150:97 and PNS 07:2000.

  


APO Pozzolan Cement Type P is specifically for general construction use, such as in reinforced concrete walls, floors, pavements and sidewalks. It is also used for marine and harbor construction, as it is salt water-resistant and for finishing, as it increases water-tightness in concrete, hence, no cracking. APO Pozzolan cement has high compressive strength. It meets applicable requirements of ASTM C595 Standard Specification for Blended Hydraulic Cement and also conforms to PNS 63:1989 Type IP, with PNS License No. Q-0257.



RIZAL Super Portland Cement with Natural Minerals is a moderate sulfate resisting and a moderate heat of hydration cement, which exceeds the specifications of ASTM C595 and PNS 63 for Type 1P. It is most popularly classified as Portland Cement with Natural Minerals.

RIZAL Super is used for the following applications:

  • Foundations, columns, floor slabs, beams, plastering, block-laying and in-filling.
  • For structures exposed to the risk of chloride attack.
  • For massive structures wherein thermal-induced stresses have to be reduced.
  • For high-rise structures.



CEMEX Palitada King Masonry Cement is recommended for use in the following masonry applications: Plastering of interior or exterior walls, in-filling of concrete hollow blocks (CHB), bricklaying, block and stone masonry applications, internal and external finishes including pebble dash and roughcast and floor toppings. In masonry applications, CEMEX Palitada King performs better than Portland cement and Pozzolan cement because.

CEMEX Palitada King is:

  • K - Kapit Dikit (bonds faster and stronger to walls).
  • I - Iwas Crack (does not crack as easily).
  • N - Nakakatipid (the use of the product can give you as much as 20% savings in labor and material costs).
  • G - Ginhawa Ipahid (ease and convenience of application).

CEMEX Palitada King Masonry Cement conforms to ASTM C91-99 for Type N and Type S masonry cement and PNS 75:1986.


Rizal Green Type M cement is an all-purpose masonry cement that can be used for both masonry works and semi-structural projects such as driveways, fences and ground floor slabs. It is the first Type M cement packed in 36 kg. A result of more than two years of laboratory and market research, Rizal Green’s patented formulation reduces carbon dioxide emissions by up to 32% when used as a substitute for ordinary portland cement in masonry works.


APO Premium Type 1P is a moderate sulfate resisting and a moderate heat of hydration cement, which complies with the specifications of ASTM C595 and PNS 63 for Type 1P. The product's natural mineral component ensures increased strength and durability over time, while the unique particle size distribution makes it the preferred cement where increased workability is required. It is used for general construction especially on structures exposed to moderate sulfate environments. It is also used for structures exposed to the risk of chloride attack, for massive structures wherein the thermal-induced stresses have to be reduced, and for high-rise structures.
