What Is Hanson Cement? 

With deep roots tracing back to the early 19th century, Hanson UK Cement stands as a testament to longevity and expertise in the cement production industry. Formerly known as Castle Cement, the company underwent a transformative rebranding in 2009 and is now proudly owned by HeidelbergCement, a global leader in building materials.

Throughout its storied history, Hanson Cement has been at the forefront of innovation, continuously pushing boundaries to deliver top-quality cement products. With a strong commitment to excellence, they have become a trusted name in the United Kingdom's construction landscape.

Hanson Multicem Cement

Discover the exceptional capabilities of Hanson Multicem Cement, a reliable and high-performance Portland Limestone cement. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it undergoes rigorous quality control measures to ensure consistent results in every application.

Whether you're working on concrete, mortar, render, or screeds, Hanson Multicem Cement offers the versatility you need. Its strength class 32,5R designation guarantees robust and durable structures that withstand the test of time.

Multicem is formulated to provide the ideal consistency for spreading and optimum water retention, ensuring excellent workability and enhanced durability in mortars. 

As is common knowledge within the construction industry, when hardened mortar is subjected to frost, it can weaken and compromise the strength of the surrounding structure. Multicem combats this by entraining air and contributing to superior plastic properties in concrete, bolstering the strength of the resulting structure. 

Rest assured knowing that Hanson Multicem Cement goes above and beyond industry standards; its CE Marked certification and strict adherence to BS EN 197-1 requirements guarantee unrivalled quality and reliability you can trust.
