Difference Between PPC and OPC Cement based on it's application

 PPC (Portland Pozzolana Cement) and OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) are the two types of cement in the construction industry. Both PPC and OPC have their unique properties and applications that make them suitable for specific construction purposes. Application of PPC Cement: PPC (Portland Pozzolana Cement) is a type of cement which is made by the combining silica, alumina, iron, gypsum, and pozzolanic materials. PPC Cement improves the durability and strength of the cement and making it suitable for use in specific construction applications. Five common applications of PPC cement: Dams and bridges: PPC cement is widely used in the construction of dams and bridges due to its high strength and durability. These structures are subject to heavy loads and constant exposure to water, and PPC's properties make it resistant to chemical attacks and long-term durability. High-rise buildings: PPC cement is also commonly used in the construction of high-rise buildings due to its high compre
