Advantages of Hydraulic Cement

  1. Easy to work with, even for beginners, hydraulic concrete.
  2. Sets and hardens hydraulic concrete easily. So it is possible to achieve optimal power rapidly.
  3. As hydraulic cement is waterproof, non-corrosive, the non-rustingandnon-shrinking substance may be used in submerged structures.
  4. The use of hydraulic cement is high because the solution is cost-effective.
  5. It can be used to repair long-lasting concrete.
  6. It can be used vertically.
  7. Can be colored within 1 hour of application Can be used for insulation, waterproofing and fireproofing in
  8. basements or other cement leaks.
  9. Time can be speeded up by adding hot water and slowing down with cold water

Disadvantages of Hydraulic Cement

  1. Hardens really quickly, so within 10-15 minutes of mixing it has to be used.
  2. This type of cement Can not use this form of concrete on frozen ground or in places where the temperature drops significantly within 48 hours.
  3. Not elastic, so appropriate only for mechanical support.
  4. Not recommended for use when the temperature is less than 48°F.
  5. Impermeable to water.
