When sulfates are present in the soil and groundwater, Portland cement is damaged. Where sulfates generate a series of chemical reactions that take place in the presence of sulfur ions, thus producing a larger volume of auxiliary reactions and thus causing internal expansion and damage to the concrete elements, in this case SRC cement is used to ensure greater durability in sulfur-rich environments.
Cement-resistant sulfate salts are made in Alsafwa factory to solve this damage by grinding the cement clinker with an amount of gypsum, and by controlling the amount of the main element that affects the sulfate resistance in the C3A cement the product gets a higher resistance as the process is done in accordance with the specifications of the Saudi Authority SASO-GSO 1914/2009 (E) Type V
