Oman Cement Company develops and markets Al Burj Cement Product

Muscat: Oman Cement Company (OCC) has developed Al Burj Cement, one of its high-quality cement products and started selling it commercially. This comes as part of the company's efforts to promote the industrial sector in the Sultanate. OCC strives to develop cement products that achieve the sustainability of manufacturing operations by conducting more research and innovating new products that keep up with the requirements of the construction and building operations in the country and matches developments in the construction sector. The production of this new type of cement is considered to be a significant contribution by OCC to achieve self-sufficiency of cement products in the Sultanate and to keep abreast with the requirements of urban development in the country, in addition to optimising the usage of natural resources. Al Burj Cement is distinguished from other types of cement by its physical properties such as high smoothness and less porosity, which makes it more resistant to salts and elements harmful to concrete. This product is environmentally friendly as it contributes to rationalising the usage of raw materials during the manufacturing process. This in turn results in preserving the stock of natural resources. On this occasion, Dr Hilal Saif Al Dhamri, Director
