Portland limestone cement is a contemporary cement engineered for today's needs. The use of portland limestone cement in manufacturing concrete decreases CO 2 emissions by 10% while still producing concrete with the same level of strength and durability as the concrete produced with regular portland cement.

The quality and quantity of the limestone used plays a major part in the strength of concrete produced with PLC. Studies have shown that limestone contents up to 15% may actually increase early-age strength as a combined result of improving particle packing, increasing the rate of cement hydration and production of calcium carboaluminate.

Cement - Cement - History of cement: The origin of hydraulic cements goes back to ancient Greece and Rome. The materials used were lime and a volcanic ash that slowly reacted with it in the presence of water to form a hard mass. This formed the cementing material of the Roman mortars and concretes of 2,000 years ago and of subsequent construction work in western Europe.
