Water ingress and moisture can deteriorate even the strongest cement structures over time. That's why it’s extremely important to protect your walls and ceilings against water. Birla A1 Dolphin Cement is the one of best cement you can choose to do it effortlessly. As it doesn't just provide surface-level protection; it also serves as an integral waterproofing solution that safeguards the structural integrity of all the buildings you construct with it. Build your home with Dolphin Cement – One of the top cements that ensures that it lasts a lifetime.

  • KEY BENEFITS
    • Leakage/Dampness-Proof
      Birla A1 Dolphin Cement prevents water from infiltrating into the cement and prevents leaks from occurring.
    • Superior Corrosion Protection
      Dolphin’s lower permeability slows down the infiltration of water and air into the concrete. Protecting steel bars from rusting when compared to regular cement.
    • Sulfate Attack Resistant
      Birla A1 Dolphin Cement prevents the ingress of sulfates from agricultural fertilizers and industrial water pollution. This seeps through cracks and crevices, attacking the concrete and breaking it down, leading to expansion and cracking.
    • Low Maintenance cost
      Birla A1 Dolphin Cement structures will be seepage-free, preventing cracking and chipping. Thereby saving on painting and other maintenance costs.
    • Anti-Carbonation
      The carbonation of concrete results in the deterioration of reinforced concrete. Birla A1 Dolphin Cement contains a mineral admixture that reacts with calcium hydroxide to form CSH gel and acts as an Anti-Carbonation solution.
    • Less Water Consumption
      Curing is the process to control moisture loss during hydration of cement. Dolphin’s low water cement ratio ensures less water consumption for curing process. Entrapped water in the concrete shall self-cure.

Our planet is more stressed than ever owing to rising temperature and carbon footprints. At Orient Cements, we strongly believe that every one of us is responsible for reversing this trend. In line with our vision to build safe and sustainable ecosystems and to offer superior and eco-friendly products to our consumers, we are proud to introduce Birla A1 OrientGreen, a special cement that is environment-friendly throughout its life cycle. Birla A1 Orient Green is indeed one of the best cements to make sure that our planet stays green for generations.

  • KEY FEATURES
    • Rust resistant - OrientGreen in RCC works increases the concrete quality by reducing numbers and size of capillary pores. This increases the density in the concrete matrix and as a result hinders the transport of chlorides or CO2 into the concrete through microscopic cracks responsible for corroding the steel inside the concrete structure. OrientGreen maintains the required pH of concrete which prevents rusting of steel in the structure.
    • Needs less water - OrientGreen requires less water for making mortar and concrete mix. This offers the benefit of reduced porosity in concrete and thereby preventing seepage in the structure, resulting in denser and impervious concrete. OrientGreen Normal Consistency results are on lower side in comparison to other major brands.
    • Moisture and Tamper Proof - Tamperproof and Water-resistant LPP Packaging ensures that the cement stays safe from any spillage and adulterations. Zero Hooks while handling the bag keeps the cement fresh. Laminated packaging ensures low moisture ingress during rainy season which increases usage life.
    • Super strength - OrientGreen cement is produced in technologically advanced manufacturing plants using high quality Portland cement clinkers along with high-purity gypsum, and highly reactive mineral admixtures. The presence of high-quality material helps in providing superior early strength and long-term compressive strength gain, resulting in a stronger and denser construction.

Birla A1 StrongCrete is a specially engineered cement for concrete applications such as foundation, beams, columns and slabs. Load-bearing concrete structures of a house are the most critical areas and hence require special cement that can sustain very high pressure and withstand harsh climatic changes. Birla A1 StrongCrete, with the power of OptiMix18 is one of the best cements that not only helps build your home faster and stronger, but it also helps ensure that it lasts for ages.

  • KEY FEATURES
    • Optimix18™
      Birla A1 StrongCrete is optimised with the three core properties of cement which include fineness, particle distribution and the amount of admixture that goes into it.
    • Lower Heat of Hydration
      Birla A1 StrongCrete releases low amount of heat on hydration which helps reduce the risk of thermal cracking in thick concrete sections.
    • Double Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate Gel
      This gel formation makes the concrete dense and void-free while also ensuring that the rebars are protected from the detrimental effects of nature, thereby inhibiting corrosion.
  • KEY BENEFITS
    • Higher Strength
      Birla A1 StrongCrete gives high-strength concrete earlier than regular concrete. It also gains its designed comprehensive strength during the initial 28 days after casting and continues to gain strength even after that.
    • Faster Setting Time
      Birla A1 StrongCrete with its quick setting time helps in early placement of successive layers of concrete and facilitates safe and speedy removal of the scaffolding or formwork.
    • Increased Durability
      Birla A1 StrongCrete protects from structural damages such as thermal cracks. It also acts as a corrosion inhibitor, protecting the rebars from corrosion.

Birla A1 Premium Cement is manufactured by the inter-grinding of clinker, gypsum and very fine-grained highly reactive fly ash. Its biggest advantage is uniform particle size distribution which gives greater strength, and helps achieve higher density with lower porosity in concrete made from it, leading to increased durability. As one of the top cement brand in its class, it achieves minimum 53 MPa as compressive strength at 28 days of curing. It has been awarded the ‘GreenPro certification’ by CII - Green Products and Services Council.

  • KEY FEATURES
    • Higher strength lends better resistance to structures in an aggressive environment, such as chlorides and sulphates attack. Plus, concrete made with Birla A1 gains more strength with the passage of time
    • Smoother finish and high resistance to seepage
    • Higher resistance to ‘cracking’ due to low heat-of-hydration
    • Minimum wastage of cement
    • Better economy
    • GreenPro certified
    • Meets requirements of National & International Green Building ratings
    • Environment friendly throughout its life cycle
  • VARIED APPLICATIONS
