OREANDA-NEWS. In mid-April, with the start of the summer construction season just around the corner, a store-room and shop for small wholesale consumers was opened at Lipetskcement, as has become traditional at this time of year. This delivery outlet is intended to provide a convenient service for retail and small wholesale consumers purchasing bagged cement in triple-lined paper sacks weighing up to 1 tonne.

The store-room and shop enables individual customers and small wholesalers to purchase high-quality cement directly from the manufacturer, so that they can avoid counterfeit products and inflated prices. The cement is delivered extremely quickly, saving consumers a great deal of time.

Lipetskcement offers a wide range of bagged cements in various convenient types of packaging. The ideal types of packaging for small wholesalers and retail customers are the 25 kg or 50 kg triple-lined paper sacks, which are strong and also environmentally friendly. This is the most convenient type of packaging for small-scale construction projects at Russian summer-houses (dachas), repairs and other minor projects. Cement that is kept in this type of packaging does not disintegrate and is easy to store and move around, whilst the bio-degradable paper sacks are the most environmentally friendly form of packaging.

At Lipetskcement, the cements CEM I 42.5N and SPC 400 are packed in 50 kg sacks, whilst the cement SPC 400 is packed in 25 kg sacks. Portland cement CEM I 42.5N, manufactured by Lipetskcement, can withstand extremely low temperatures and is 20% stronger than the minimum GOST requirements. It is ideal for the construction of all types of concrete and reinforced concrete facilities, durable concretes with early stripping times, surfacing projects and massive and thin-walled monolithic facilities.

Slag Portland cement made using SPC 400 slag is resistant to corrosion and moisture, does not crack and complies with the GOST requirements. SPC 400 is the most widely used cement, due to its outstanding properties. It is ideal for projects involving repairs and finishing, as well as the construction of homes. The use of granulated slag as an additive improves the heat insulation properties of the solutions and concretes. The combination of low alkali raw materials and high-tech manufacturing processes mean that facilities can be constructed which will last 'centuries'.

Said Vladimir Sokoltsov, General Director of Lipetskcement and managing director of EUROCEMENT group's Lipetsk branch: “High quality is an integral feature of all the cements produced by EUROCEMENT group. Round-the-clock monitoring of quality is carried out at all of the Holding's companies, from the stage when raw materials are extracted to the stage when finished products are delivered to the customer.
