Cement:

Third Coast also has white Portland cement. The Ras Al-Khaima Company that is located in the United Arab Emirates manufactures our white Portland cement in their state-of-the-art plant. The raw materials that are used for its manufacture are the best available as proven by the excellent test results for the cement. Construction Technology Laboratories conducted the tests. They were the research and development laboratories of the Portland Cement Association before becoming an independent subsidiary. As you will see by the results, our cement exceeded all the requirements of the physical and chemical standards for ASTM C-150 (type I). The tests show that our cement not only sets faster and stronger (5030 psi by the third day) but that its trowelability and it's whiteness are superior to the other white cements available in the market.

In addition to having excellent quality, our cement is competitively priced. Currently we are importing 10,000 Metric tons every 90 days into the port of Houston were the cement is warehoused and ready for shipping. The price includes delivery to your location when ordering by the truckload (14 pallets with 34 bags each, 94 Lbs. per bag) and there is no pallet deposit.

Third Coast is committed to providing product that compliment the superior efforts of the home and pool building industries.
