Cement
Cement is a pivotal component in concrete masonry. The masonry industry stands as a significant consumer of cement manufactured in the United States, making it a vital client for many cement companies. Cement is not only indispensable in concrete masonry but also plays a crucial role in numerous other applications. The proportions of cement, water, and aggregate are adjusted, and sometimes admixtures are added to achieve a diverse range of fresh and hardened properties suitable for virtually every type of infrastructure application.
The SCMA takes pride in having numerous cement companies as members. These companies actively participate in our board of directors, promotion committees, and in-person events. We regard them as an integral part of the masonry industry and the SCMA community.
Sustainability: It’s an Imperative
Cement and concrete stand the test of time and save lives through inherent resilience. Now, we’re on our way to providing these benefits sustainably. PCA’s Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality addresses each stage of the concrete life cycle to arrive at net zero by 2050.
