• Type II – For general use, more especially when moderate sulfate resistance is desired;
• Type IIA – Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type II, where air-entrainment is desired;
• Type II(MH) – For general use, more especially when moderate heat of hydration and moderatesulfate resistance are desired.
• Type II(MH)A – Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type II(MH), where air-entrainment isdesired.
• Type III – For use when high early strength is desired;
• Type IIIA – Air-entraining cement for the same use as Type III, where air-entrainment is desired;
• Type IV – For use when low heat of hydration is desired; and
