EPD: Portland-composite cement, ASTM C595, Blended Type IT(P25)(L6) (Holcim, Ste. Genevieve Cement Plant)

This EPD reports environmental transparency information for Portland Type I/II Low alkali (LA) and Blended Type IL cements produced by Holcim at its Ste. Genevieve MO plant. In addition, a Type IT (P25)(L6) that uses Ste. Genevieve IL cement but blended at Holcim’s Fremont NE terminal is also reported herein. Cements are hydraulic binders and are manufactured by grinding cement clinker and other main or minor constituents into a finely ground, usually grey colored mineral powder. When mixed with water, cement acts as a glue to bind together the sand, gravel or crushed stone to form concrete, one of the most durable, resilient and widely used construction materials in the world. The Table below sets out each cement type constituents and applicable standards. Ste. Genevieve cement is sold in bulk.
