PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 

The cement most suited to the south Indian climate proudly invented by us, through in-house studies and continuous researches in product improvement- a way of life in MCL. An outcome of all this is Malabar Classic. With scientifically proportioned sand and coarse aggregates, the most cohesive  mix possible with Malabar Classic, will avoid the otherwise inherent drawbacks of concrete - segregation and bleeding. The fly ash interweaved with Malabar Classic makes it sulphate resistant ; a basic property, that cement should posses, for constructions and structures in seacoasts and in alkaline waters. Malabar Classic is best suited to resist alkali aggregate reaction, a defect eventually resulting in excessive cracks and subsequent un serviceability of structures.

BENEFITS

The extra fineness welded in to it allows Malabar Classic better coverage and finish in wall and roof plastering. This in turn reduces the paint consumption. With its superior strength properties, it is economical to use Malabar Classic.10% cement is normally guaranteed. Using a design mix gain can go up to 30%.
