⚠️ Where OPC 43 is Not Preferred

• High-rise buildings requiring very high early strength
• Large infrastructure projects (bridges, highways, dams)

✅ Why Choose OPC 43?

• Good workability
• Economical compared to OPC 53
• Lower heat of hydration → fewer cracks
• Ideal for normal construction needs
