Our Cement
As the most widely used construction material and one of the planet’s most-consumed resources, cement forms the backbone of our modern civilization. It’s the hidden ingredient giving strength to the concrete and mortar that form our buildings, roads and everything in between.
Modern Portland cement can trace its roots to 1756 when a British civil engineer experimented with various limestones and additives to construct a lighthouse. The name “Portland” comes from the cement’s similarity to Portland stone, which is quarried in England on the Isle of Portland.
Type I/II – Our Type I/II Portland cement meets the requirements of both Type I and Type II, including strength and composition requirements, and can be used in projects where either type is required. More cost-effective than storing both types, Type I/II can be used on most concrete construction projects, including those that expose the concrete to harsh environmental conditions. NOTE: No longer available as of June 2024.
Monarch PLC (Type IL) – A replacement for Type I/II cement which conforms to ASTM C595 and AASHTO M240 standards. Designed with a higher limestone content, Monarch PLC provides a greener way to execute any concrete project with virtually no modifications to mix design or placement procedures.

A greener future
In 2021, The Portland Cement Association developed and published the cement industry’s “Roadmap To Carbon Neutrality”. Our Type 1L PLC is just one of the many steps The Monarch Cement Company is taking to achieve this goal.
PLC is the next generation of traditional Portland Cement. If you’re interested in finding a more sustainable cement, which will reduce energy usage and Co2 emissions, contact us to learn more today.
