Bamburi Cement offers the following 3 brands of cement for various kinds of work:

1. NGUVU

Nguvu CEM IV/B(P) 32,5N is a Pozzolanic Cement with wide range of

applications from domestic concrete to large building projects. Its good
strength performance makes it suitable for both general purpose and
structural concrete applications.
Structural Applications/Reinforced concrete
Suspended slabs
Beams
Columns
Foundations
Water retaining structures
Pre cast concrete members
Characteristics
Nguvu CEM IV/B(P) 32,5N is characterized by good early and 28 day
strengths and fast setting.
Nguvu Cement Product Difference
Nguvu CEM IV/B(P) 32,5N (N- Normal setting)
From Bamburi's Nairobi Grinding Plant
Main Additive is Pozzolana
Darker in Colour

Nguvu CEM IV/B(P)32,5R (R- Rapid setting)

From Bamburi's Mombasa Plant
Main additive is Limestone
Lighter in colour
Both cement's have the SAME performance and general purpose.
Both cements have equal performance that's why they are called NGUVU and packed in similar bags of
50kgs.

2. POWER MAX

PowerMAX 42,5 is a premium cement that combines excellent strength

performance at all ages with versatility and enhanced durability benefits.
PowerMAX 42,5 combines high technical performance for large projects
with all round versatility for the small user. The characteristics of
superior workability, high early and 28-day strengths in particular makes
PowerMAX 42,5 the effective solution to the productivity demands of
construction projects. The attribute of low heat of hydration reduces the
risk of cracking in large concrete pours with lowered peak temperatures
at all ages.
Applications for Power Max 42,5
For High Concrete Strength:Bridges, High-rise structures
For Large Projects: Dam/reservoir, Construction, Massive
Beams, Columns and Slip, Form Works
For Soil Stabilisation
Foundation Works
For Ordinary Constructions
Benefits of using Power Max
PowerMAX 42,5 retains the early age gain strength characteristics and
28 day strengths of Powerplus cement while having the following

enhanced attributes:
Low heat of hydration (reduce cracking)
High workability
Reduced bleeding
Reduced porosity
Improved cohesion
Equivalent alkalis less than 0.6%
Smoother surface finish
Environmentally friendly (less CO2 emission)

3. POWER PLUS
PowerPLUS 42,5 N cement is traditionally known as Ordinary Portland
Cement. Powerplus cement is utilized very efficiently in medium to large
construction projects to optimize performance. These applications require
good technical ability, quality control and experience to design concrete
mixes.
Structural Applications/Reinforced concrete
High rise buildings and structures
Bridges
Fast track construction Projects
Spun pipe manufacturing
Post- tensioning and pre-stressing slabs and beams
Pre- cast manufacturing
Slip-forming
Silos
Foundations
Characterisitcs
PowerPLUS 42,5 N is very effective for high strength concrete
applications, particularly where high early strengths, quick setting and
high 28 day strengths are an important consideration.
Applications
PowerPLUS 42,5 N cement has wide applications and is ideally suited
where high concrete strengths and fast construction speeds are of
essence. Its high strength performance makes it suitable for high strength
structural concrete applications.
Medium strength concrete
Concrete columns, suspended slabs, beams and water retaining
structures.
Brick and block making
Domestic concrete
Civil Works
Soil stabilization

Material and safety data

INHALATION: Wear approved dust masks as breathing cement dust
may cause nose, throat, lung irritation or choking.
EYES: Wear glasses or safety goggles to prevent contact with eyes. Eye
contact with cement may cause serious and potentially irreversible
injuries.
SKIN CONTACT: Wear impervious gloves, shoes and protective
clothing to prevent skin contact. Prolonged skin contact with wet cement
may cause serious burns. Repeated contact may cause contact
dermatitis.
INGESTION: In case of accidental ingestion, do not induce vomiting. If
the person is conscious, wash out mouth with water and give plenty of
water to drink.
