Emphasizing the Role of OPC, SRC, and BHC:

While Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) remains the most common type of cement, it does have environmental impacts, particularly CO2 emissions during production. However, OPC’s versatility and wide range of applications make it a crucial component in the construction industry. On the other hand, Sulphate Resistant Cement (SRC), formulated to withstand sulphate-rich environments like coastal areas, strikes a balance between resilience and environmental considerations by incorporating a blend of OPC and GGBS. Additionally, Blast Furnace Cement (BHC) offers unique properties and environmental benefits, making it suitable for various construction applications.
