CEMENT (Portland 45) bag of 50kg

• Portland Cement Type 45 is supplied in a 50 kg moisture-resistant multi-wall paper bag (or equivalent).
• The bag is clearly labelled with the product name, manufacturer, batch/lot number, net weight, date of manufacture, and country of origin.
• Cement appears as a fine grey powder, free of lumps or foreign matter.
• Packaging allows stacking, palletising, warehouse storage, and safe manual handling.

• Suitable for manual or mechanical mixing with standard aggregates, water, and common admixtures.
• Compatible with standard construction practices in humanitarian field operations (shelters, foundations, WASH works, etc.).
• Bag size and weight fit into MSF logistics workflows (truck, sea, air transport; field warehouses).
• Packaging conforms to typical field handling conditions, allowing forklift or manual movement and dry storage.

• Functions as the primary binder for concrete and mortar in general construction.
• Meets performance expectations for Type 45 cement, achieving ≥45 MPa compressive strength at 28 days (as per EN 197-1 / ASTM C150 or equivalent).
• Provides reliable setting, hydration, and strength development under field temperatures (~5°C–40°C).
• Ensures durable concrete/mortar with adequate workability, binding to aggregates/reinforcement, and resistance to weathering.
• Supports construction of foundations, slabs, structural elements, and WASH infrastructure without requiring special processes beyond standard mixing and curing.
• Often cement with other strengths and specifications are available locally. See the technical specifications and the bill of quantities of your construction project, for the specifications required and procure the materials accordingly.
