TCL Guyana Inc unveiled its new cement packaging on Thursday at a seminar on concrete held at the Regency Hotel, Hadfield Street, Georgetown.In attendance were dealers and stakeholders. The seminar was conducted by Danny Jairam, cement and concrete specialist from Trinidad and Tobago, along with TCL officials.
According to Jairam, the ingredients in the cement forms Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate (C-S-H) gel. This provides additional strength and makes the concrete grow in strength over the years.
He noted that due to the solid state, moisture or water is unable to penetrate the concrete, protecting the steel reinforcement from rusting and thereby prolonging life significantly.
In sharing his tips, Jairam said: “Always use potable water when mixing, ensure that your sand and/or sifting is free from stems, leaves etc and ensure your blocks are properly cured before use and maintain high quality at all times.”
According to TCL Guyana Inc., building a home is a lifetime investment, and as such, the owner should use the best materials that will give the finish and satisfaction they are looking for and truly deserve.
In building, whether it is concrete or wood, cement is an important ingredient. If it is a wooden house, the builder needs concrete for the foundation.
If it is a concrete house, the builder needs cement for the foundation, columns and building blocks. Cement is therefore important in the building process.
The new TGI Eco Plus and TGI plus sacks help increase shelf life of the packed cement. No spilling, pilferage ensure zero loss of cement during transportation, hence, delivering the full 50 Kg cement to the customer.
Unlike ordinary cement bags, it cannot be easily tampered with, adulterated and re-stitched.
