INSEE EASY FLOW
Cement for Ready-mixed Concrete
APPLICATION
INSEE Easy Flow is an optimized cement specifically designed for Ready Mixed concrete customers who require long workability and stable strength for infrastructure and other construction projects. The properties of INSEE Easy Flow makes it possible to use in a wide range of applications - from high-rise buildings and houses to tunnels and bridges. It also meets the needs of ready mix companies looking to make concrete mixes with stable strength and flowability for use in curves, arches and other architectural effects.
BENEFITS
Better security in the concrete workability and lower admixture cost, linked to superior slump retention.
Less concrete rejects and strength failures, linked to regular cement quality.
Lower water requirement helps to optimize the cost of cement materials.
INSEE Easy Flow improves long term durability for the construction as the low alkali content of cement lowers the risk of destructive alkali-silica reaction in concrete.
AT CONCRETE MIXING PLANT
- Better security in the concrete workability and lower admixture cost, linked to superior slump retention.
- Optimized cement cost, as INSEE Easy Flow combines a high strength level with low water demand.
- Less concrete rejects and strength failures, linked to regular cement quality.
AT CONSTRUCTION WORKS
- Easy working practice, as concrete properties are more stable.
- Fast remove of formwork, linked to high early (3-7 days) strength.
- Less risk of strength failures and jobsite delays.
INCREASE THE DURABILITY OF THE CONSTRUCTION
- INSEE Easy Flow improves long term durability for the construction as the low alkali content of cement lowers the risk of destructive alkali-silica reaction in concrete.

STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR CEMENT
- Underground structures & infrastructure (diaphragm wall, borepiles, bridges, ports…): Portland cement blended PCB40, compliant with TCVN 6260:2009 or ASTM C1157 type GU. Total of equivalent alkali content (Na2O + 0.658 K2O) < 0.60% to avoid alkali aggregate reaction
- Above ground structures (slabs, beams, columns...): Portland cement blended PCB40, compliant with TCVN 6260:2009 or ASTM C1157 type GU
