Clinker

Clinker is the key raw material used in the production of cement. It is formed by heating limestone and other materials such as clay and iron ore at high temperatures in a kiln, resulting in hard, nodular lumps. These lumps, known as clinker, are then ground with gypsum and other additives to produce various types of cement. Its high calcium silicate content ensures the binding properties essential for strong and durable concrete.

Clinker is vital for achieving the desired strength, setting time, and durability in cement products. Whether for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) or blended cements like PPC, high-quality clinker ensures consistent performance and structural integrity in all types of construction—from homes and commercial buildings to bridges and highways.

Highlights

• Core Ingredient in Cement: Clinker is the essential base used to produce all types of cement.
• High-Strength Binder: Ensures strong bonding and long-term durability in concrete.
• Heat-Processed for Quality: Made through high-temperature kiln firing for consistent performance.
