Description
Qaen Portland Cement Type II
A durable and high-performance cement for the specific climatic conditions of eastern Iran and regional exports
Type II cement produced by Qaen Cement Company is one of the company’s key and strategic products in eastern Iran. With its special properties, this cement is an ideal choice for structures exposed to moderate moisture, mild chemical attacks, and high temperatures.
Founded in 1982 with the goal of producing gray cement, Qaen Cement Company is now regarded as one of the major cement producers in Iran. In addition to meeting the needs of domestic markets in eastern provinces, the company also holds a significant share of cement exports to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia.
Technical Features of Qaen Type II Cement
🔹 High Mechanical Strength
Qaen Type II cement is produced in the 42.5 strength class, ensuring concrete structures made with it achieve excellent compressive strength at different ages. This makes it highly suitable for medium to heavy structures.
🔹 Reduced Heat of Hydration
In projects such as large foundations, mass concrete casting, or hot climates, controlling the heat generated during hydration is critical. Compared to Type I, Qaen Type II cement has a lower heat of hydration, which helps prevent concrete cracking and increases durability.
🔹 Moderate Sulfate Resistance
In regions where soil or water contains low to moderate levels of sulfate ions (such as South Khorasan, Sistan & Baluchestan, and Afghanistan), this cement is recommended. Its relative sulfate resistance makes it suitable for foundations, water tanks, and retaining walls.
Recommended Applications of Qaen Type II Cement
✅ Infrastructure projects in hot and semi-arid regions
✅ Mass concrete casting (dams, foundations, retaining walls)
✅ Suitable for bridges, roads, and tunnels
✅ Structures in contact with mildly aggressive water or soil
✅ Urban, industrial, and export-oriented construction projects
