History
Still little explored in Brazil, white portland cement differs from all others by its brightness or white color, higher than 90%, which enables its vast application in the construction market, and allows greater color fidelity after pigmentation. This is classified in Brazil as structural and not structural. The structural type is mainly applied in white concrete for architectural purposes, with resistance classes that can vary from 25, 32 and 40 MPa, similar to other types of gray cement. On the other hand, the non-structural, has no class indications and is applied, for example, in the grouting of tiles and in non-structural applications.
Provale is the only manufacturer of white cement on Brazilian soil. They produce the White Cement brand PROCIM, strictly following the NBR 12989/93 (Brazilian Standard), in other words, a product recognized as high performance
