The resulting clinker is then ground with natural or chemical\ngypsum and small amounts of a hydrophobic agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydrophobic cement comprises admixtures that reduce the wetting ability of cement grains. Common admixtures include naphthensoap, Acidol, oxidized petrolatum, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These chemicals create a layer on the cement particle, preventing water from initiating the hydration process during transportation or storage. The hydrophobic properties of the cement allow it to be stored for longer periods in highly wet climatic conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of cement is suitable for constructing water structures such as dams, spillways, and other submerged structures. The standard IS 269:1989 outlines the chemical requirements for hydrophobic Portland cement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To meet the standard,\nhydrophobic Portland cement must satisfy the chemical and physical requirements\nspecified and be tested as per the methods outlined. It is the onus of the\nmanufacturer to ensure that their product complies with this standard. A\nlaboratory must be maintained to conduct the necessary tests using the methods\nspecified in the standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mandatory_Tests_under_BIS_Certification_for_Hydrophobic_Portland_cement\"><\/span>Mandatory Tests under BIS Certification for Hydrophobic Portland cement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following test shall\nbe carried out for hydrophobic Portland cement in accordance with the method\nspecified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Fineness test<\/li><li>Setting time test<\/li><li>Compressive Strength test<\/li><li>Transverse Strength Test<\/li><li>Soundness test<\/li><li>Chemical requirement test<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Underlining_Labelling_and_Marking_Norms_for_Hydrophobic_Portland_cement\"><\/span>Underlining Labelling and Marking Norms for Hydrophobic Portland cement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydrophobic Portland cement packaging must adhere to the norms cited in the IS 8043:1991 standard, including apt labelling and marking. Each bag or drum of hydrophobic Portland cement must display the ISI marking, the sign of quality, or have it printed on the label applied to it, provided that the material is of the required standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use the standard mark (<a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/isi-mark-certification\"><strong>ISI Mark<\/strong><\/a>), the manufacturer must obtain a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards.

The application must\ninclude all the applicable dossiers such as test reports, quality control\nmeasures, and other relevant information. The application fee must also be paid\nin this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Step 2: Paperwork Vetting<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the application is\nreceived, BIS will perform a preliminary assessment of the furnished documents.\nIf the documents are found to be satisfactory and complete, the manufacturer\nwill be allowed to carry out the necessary tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Step 3: Product Testing<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to\nperform the standard tests on the hydrophobic Portland cement. The BIS-approved\nlaboratory shall conduct these tests. The tests will include physical,\nchemical, and performance tests. The tests will be conducted to ensure that the\nproduct in question meets the underlying BIS standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Step 4: Grant of BIS Certification<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the tests are finished, the test reports must be shared with BIS for final review.

The manufacturer should continue\nto abide by the relevant BIS standards by carrying out regular quality control\nmeasures as well as tests. Failure to do so can lead to the cancellation of BIS\ncertification.
