Sulphate salts present in some soils combine with moisture and tri-calcium aluminate (C3A) , one of the constituents of cement to form a compound known as Sulpho Aluminate off Hydrated Calcium. This compound is highly expansive and gradually results in the destruction of concrete. However, if a C3A content is very low, it is rendered inert and there is thus no reaction at all. British and Pakistani standards specify that in a Sulphate Resistant Cement, the C3A content must not exceed 3.5%. D.G Sulphate Resistant Cement has a much lower C3A content, making the cement highly effective against Sulphate attacks.
