Introducing CEM III Blast Furnace Slag Cement

CEM III, our latest innovation in white cement, is designed for builders who care about sustainability. Developed in 2023, CEM III reduces emissions and uses fewer resources, making it a smart choice for greener construction.

The widest range of white cements

At Rohoznik White, we offer the widest portfolio of white cements in Europe. We produce both traditional Portland cements and advanced composites, such as limestone cements (CEM II A-LL) and white cements with slag (A-S and B-S).

Due to the success of innovatively incorporating blast furnace slag, we have developed two new and unique composite cements: CEM III/A 42.5 N and CEM III/A 42.5 R. These groundbreaking cements, created at the end of 2023, are our most sustainable products yet and offer exceptional benefits.

The best choice for sustainable construction

Sustainability is a crucial consideration when selecting cement. Here’s why CEM III (White Blast Furnace Slag cement) stands out as a greener alternative to traditional CEM I (Portland cement):

  1. Lower carbon emissions

    CEM III produces up to 44% less CO2 than CEM I during production, helping to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

  2. Increased energy heat savings

    CEM III requires around 42% less energy to produce compared to CEM I, lowering operational costs and reducing the CO2 footprint.

  3. Water efficiency

    CEM III uses 43% less water than CEM I in production, supporting better water management.

  4. Power Consumption

    CEM III requires nearly 42% less energy to produce compared to CEM I, leading to lower indirect CO2 production emissions.

CEM III meets every expectation

Choosing CEM III for your building project is a great way to support sustainability goals, by cutting carbon emissions and saving energy and water. Using less energy and water also means significant cost savings over the life of your project.

CEM III is more than a material choice – it’s a commitment to greener building practices. Its superior performance makes it the perfect option for builders looking to minimise their projects’ carbon footprint.

CEM III/A 42.5 N and CEM III/A 42.5 R are versatile and suitable for a range of uses, from ready-mix concrete production to the manufacture of high-strength plain concrete and reinforced structures. All these applications – plus many more – are featured in our new Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certifications. For more details, take a look at our certifications.

Ultimately, we design our products with you in mind; customers who want to make an earth-friendly impact through innovative production methods for the benefit of future generations.
