ACCRA, GHANA – GHACEM Limited, Ghana's premier cement manufacturer, has officially announced the nationwide market availability of its groundbreaking product, GHACEM Super Strong Waterproof Cement. This innovative, high-performance cement is engineered to deliver superior protection against moisture and dampness, promising to enhance the durability and longevity of buildings across the country.
The introduction of GHACEM Super Strong Waterproof Cement marks a significant advancement in the Ghanaian construction sector, addressing long-standing challenges posed by tropical climates and pervasive dampness. Builders, contractors, and homeowners can now access a specialized cement designed to mitigate issues such as mold growth, efflorescence, and structural degradation caused by water ingress, thereby ensuring more resilient and healthier living and working environments.
Addressing Ghana's Climate Challenges
Ghana's climate, characterized by high humidity and seasonal heavy rains, often subjects buildings to constant moisture exposure. This environmental factor contributes to the premature deterioration of structures, leading to costly repairs and compromised structural integrity. GHACEM Super Strong Waterproof Cement is specifically formulated to counteract these effects, incorporating advanced hydrophobic properties that repel water and significantly reduce its absorption into concrete and mortar.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Nana Osei Bonsu, Marketing Director for GHACEM Limited, emphasized the company's commitment to innovation driven by market needs.
"For decades, GHACEM has been at the forefront of providing quality building solutions in Ghana. Our latest innovation, GHACEM Super Strong Waterproof Cement, is a direct response to the persistent challenges our customers face with water damage and dampness," Mr. Bonsu stated. "We have invested heavily in research and development to create a product that not only meets but exceeds international standards for waterproofing, tailored specifically for the Ghanaian context. This product will revolutionize how we build, offering unparalleled protection and peace of mind."
Key Features and Benefits
The new cement is distinguished by several key features designed to provide comprehensive moisture protection:
- Enhanced Water Repellency: Its unique formulation creates a dense, less permeable matrix within concrete and mortar, significantly reducing water absorption.
- Increased Durability: By preventing water penetration, the cement helps protect steel reinforcements from corrosion, thereby extending the lifespan of structures.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Buildings constructed with waterproof cement will require less frequent repairs related to dampness, saving homeowners and developers significant costs over time.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: Minimizing moisture ingress helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew, contributing to healthier indoor environments.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for a wide range of applications, including foundations, basements, retaining walls, bathrooms, swimming pools, roofs, and general construction in areas prone to dampness.
Architect Ama Serwaa, a prominent figure in the Ghanaian construction industry, welcomed the introduction of the new product.
"This is a game-changer for architects and builders in Ghana," Architect Serwaa remarked. "We constantly strive to design and construct buildings that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also robust and sustainable. The availability of GHACEM Super Strong Waterproof Cement provides us with a crucial tool to enhance the resilience of our projects against the elements. It means less worry about structural integrity and more focus on creating lasting value for our clients."
