Dalmia Launches
Specialised Cement in Kerala WhiteArrow News Service Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited, founded in 1939 at
Dalmiapuram (Tamil Nadu) has a turnover of US $ 60 million and has a production
capacity of 1.2 million TPY. Dalmia Cement currently operates in Tamil Nadu
and Kerala and the company has a 8 per cent market share in both these
markets. Dalmia Cement has several first to its credit. Dalmia was
the first to install semi dry process and wet process kilns in India; first
company to introduce the coal slurry based Vertical Shaft Kiln technology in
the world; first to introduce the energy-conserving Vertical Roller Mill
technology for cement grinding; first cement plant to venture into a wind
mill farm for captive power in Tamil Nadu; and the first cement manufacturer
in South India to obtain the ISO 9002 quality system certification. The company has launched Dalmia Superoof Cement in Kerala.
Through the years the company has continuously adopted emerging technologies
to establish themselves as specialists in the industry. The company has been
meeting the specialised demands of the core sectors of the country through
its products designed for Airstrips, Railway sleepers and Oil wells. Dalmia Superoof is another innovative product designed
keeping the individual house owner in mind. The product has been specially
designed to meet the requirements in the critical Roofing and Concreting
applications. Concrete structures are exposed to the environmental attacks
from rain and windstorms. These attacks have been further aggravated by the
increasing levels of pollution and the presence of Sulphates, Chlorides in
the environment. The Roof, a critical concreting application faces the most
of these attacks. Dalmia Superoof is specially designed to provide the
requisite strength and importantly, protection from environmental attacks.
The state of the art technology of Dalmia gives the cement an optimal
particle size distribution (OPSD), which leads to a denser concrete. The
denser concrete protects against cracks developing and leaks ensuring that
the Roof has a better performance. The need for the product in the Kerala
weather context is therefore all that much more. Thus, Dalmia Superoof is
unique in its category as this is the first attempt to fulfill a specific
need that goes beyond strength alone. |
