EPD: Portland-limestone cement, ASTM C595, Blended Type IL (Holcim, Holly Hill Cement Plant (2022))

This EPD reports environmental transparency information for five cement types produced by Holcim at its Holly Hill, SC plant. 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. All Holly Hill cements are sold packaged.
