💡 5 things every concrete finisher should know about Type 1L Cement: 1️⃣ Less bleed water PLC produces less surface bleed water than traditional cement. Your window to finish is tighter. 2️⃣ Earlier surface crusting The surface can dry before the slab is ready to finish — leading to crazing, delamination, and scaling. 3️⃣ More sensitive to weather Heat, wind, and low humidity hit harder with Type 1L. What you got away with before may bite you now. 4️⃣ Admixtures behave differently Compatibility issues that never came up with Type I/II can surprise you with PLC mixes. 5️⃣ The fix is not complicated — but it requires discipline Hold the water-cement ratio. Watch the surface, not the clock. Use finishing aids. Adjust your timing. Our free April 13 seminar covers all of this and more — with 40+ years of field-tested expertise from Chad White, Senior Concrete Consultant, Structural Services Inc. 🔗 Free registration: www.cementseminar.com 📍 Riverhouse Convention Center, Bend, OR 🗓️ April 13, 2026 · 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM · Lunch included #ConcreteEducation #Type1LCement #PLCCement #ConcreteProblems #ConcreteFinishing #HookerCreekCompanies

📊 The biggest material shift in a generation is already here. The American Concrete Association projects that Type IL Portland-Limestone Cement now accounts for well over 60% of the national market — and that number is still climbing. Over 44 state Departments of Transportation have approved it for highway and bridge work. It is in your ready-mix. It is in your structural pours. It is in your flatwork. The industry did not ask for this shift. But the industry always adapts. The contractors and producers who learn the new rules fastest will be the ones who win more bids, reduce callbacks, and protect their reputation for quality work. That is exactly what our free April 13 seminar is designed to help you do. Two full sessions. A nationally recognized expert. A free lunch. And knowledge you can put to work the very next day on the slab. ⏳ 2 weeks away. Seats are going fast. 🔗 Register free today: www.cementseminar.com 📍 Riverhouse Convention Center · Bend, OR 🗓️ Monday, April 13 · 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
