Types of Cement
Rizal Portland Super Type 1P cement is specially formulated and manufactured with natural minerals to provide additional properties not found in ordinary Portland cement. The natural mineral component (Philippine Tuff) ensures increased strength and durability over time. This has long secured Rizal Portland Super as the builder's choice for structures that last for generations to come.
Rizal Portland Super is used for the following applications:
- All-purpose cement for general construction applications, especially where structures are exposed to moderate sulfate environments or to chloride attack
- Roads, pavements, bridges, foundations, columns and slabs
- Pre-cast and pre-fabricated concrete products such as pipes, hollow blocks, pavers, floor and roof tiles
- Tanks, reservoirs, culverts, water pipes, and masonry units
Benefits:
- Higher ultimate strength
- Reduced permeability
- Reduced expansion and heat of hydration and improved long-term durability
- Moderate sulfate-resistant type of cement
Rizal Masonry Cement is a Type M masonry cement that earns its name as the sustainable alternative to other types of cement in masonry applications. It effectively minimizes the carbon footprint of regular Portland cement by as much as 32%; thus, Rizal Masonry Cement is considered an environment-friendly type of cement. Through XD 100 nanotechnology, it allows better moisture retention and adhesion strength for improved usage.
Rizal Masonry Cement is used for the following applications:
- Plastering (exterior and interior)
- CHB laying / core filling
- Tile adhesive / grouts and fabrication of decorative stone and stucco
- Other semi-structural masonry works (driveways, sidewalks, fencing)
- Ground floor slab concreting
Benefits:
- Savings both in labor costs and usage
- Higher workability compared to traditional cement products
- Less plaster cracking
- Environment-friendly
APO Portland Premium Type 1P cement is specially formulated and manufactured with natural minerals to provide additional properties not found in ordinary Portland cement. This ensures increased strength and durability over time. Trusted by builders, APO Portland Premium ensures quality that lasts for years to come.

Island Portland Type 1 Cement is specially made for high performance applications and highly engineered construction. It exceeds the strict standards of both Philippine National Standards (PNS) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) making it the brand of choice for mega structures. Island Portland bests itself among other ordinary Portland cement brands through its early strength which translates to faster project completion.
A general-purpose Portland cement suitable for all uses where special properties are not required. It can be used in:
- High strength concrete designs with a minimal cement factor requirement (ready-mixed concrete)
- Projects with tight completion schedules
- Precast and pre-stressed concrete
- Infrastructure— roads, dams, bridges, railway structures
- Mega-structures, high-rise buildings, and condominiums
- Tanks, reservoirs, culverts, water pipes, and masonry units (mortars, renders, and screeds)
Benefits:
- Early strength achieved in less time
- Best in overall quality and consistency
- Proven compatibility with mineral and chemical admixtures
