White cement is the preferred binder of architects, decorators and tile makers. Brilliant color, high strength, superior fineness: in Morocco, it enhances tiling, sculptures, facades and architectural concrete. Please note: Dakhla Aménagement does not produce white cement — our Lassargua plant (Dakhla) produces grey CPJ 45 and CPJ 55, delivered within Dakhla, delivery included.

White cement is a Portland cement whose brilliant white color is obtained by selecting very pure raw materials, very low in iron oxides (Fe₂O₃ < 0.4%) and manganese — the natural pigments responsible for the grey shade of conventional cement. White limestone, chalk, kaolin and quartz sand replace ferruginous clays. Firing takes place at a higher temperature (1,500-1,600 °C) with rapid water cooling to preserve whiteness, and grinding uses flint or ceramic wheels to avoid any metallic contamination.
The result is a cement with a brilliant white color (whiteness index > 87%), superior fineness (400 to 500 m²/kg Blaine) and mechanical strengths comparable to grey Portland cement (classes 42.5 or 52.5 MPa at 28 days). Its color purity makes it possible to obtain pastel and intense shades, impossible with grey cement, by adding mineral pigments. This is why it is highly prized by architects, tile makers and decorators worldwide.
Beyond color, white cement differs from grey cement by several technical characteristics: lower content of coloring oxides, higher fineness (which improves workability and strength), higher firing temperature and a price about 2 to 3 times higher. The table below summarizes the main differences.
| Characteristic | White cement | Grey cement |
|---|---|---|
| Color | Brilliant white | Grey |
| Iron oxide content (Fe2O3) | < 0.4% | 2 to 5% |
| Manganese oxide content | Very low | Present |
| Fineness (Blaine) | 400 to 500 m²/kg | 300 to 400 m²/kg |
| Firing temperature | ≥ 1,500 °C | ~ 1,450 °C |
| 28-day strength | 42.5 or 52.5 MPa | 32.5 to 52.5 MPa |
| Indicative price (bulk) | Not sold by DAM (≈ 2-3× grey) | on request — DAM, delivered Dakhla |
| Main use | Decoration, tiling, sculpture | Standard structural concrete |
From tiling to sculpture and architectural concrete, white cement enhances the most demanding projects.
Cement tiles, slabs, light grout. Pure shade for bright finishes.
Sculptures, balusters, cornices, decorative architectural elements.
Exposed white concrete, prestige terraces, contemporary facades.
Ideal base for pigmented concrete: vivid and pastel faithful colors.
White cement is a rarer and more expensive product than grey Portland cement: the scarcity of white raw materials (kaolin, pure white limestone), a more energy-intensive manufacturing process and a smaller market explain a price generally 2 to 3 times higher than grey cement, with variations depending on importers and distributors. For an exact price, contact specialized white cement distributors directly.
To be clear: Dakhla Aménagement does not sell white cement and does not import any. Our Lassargua plant (Dakhla) produces only composite grey Portland cement — CPJ 45 and CPJ 55 (CPJ 35 on request) — delivered within Dakhla, delivery included (48h standard, 24h urgent). If your project requires white cement, contact the specialized importers and distributors present in Morocco; our team remains available for all your grey cement needs.
White and grey cements have a very similar chemical composition (clinker + gypsum), but white cement is made from raw materials very low in iron and manganese oxides — the pigments responsible for the grey color. It is also ground more finely and fired at higher temperature. Result: a brilliant white color, higher fineness, a price about 2 to 3 times higher than grey cement, and decoration-oriented uses (tiling, grout, sculpture, decorative renders).
White cement generally costs 2 to 3 times the price of grey cement, due to the scarcity of white raw materials and a more demanding manufacturing process. Note: Dakhla Aménagement does not sell white cement — so we do not publish a price for this product. For an exact price, contact specialized distributors. Our grey CPJ 45 is priced by personalized quote, delivered to Dakhla sites.
White cement is highly prized for decorative and aesthetic applications: cement tile and tiling manufacturing, light tile grout, decorative renders and screeds, sculptures, architectural elements (balusters, cornices, ornaments), white or colored architectural concrete (with pigments), prestige terraces and slabs. Its color purity makes it possible to obtain pastel and intense shades impossible with grey cement.
Yes, white cement offers mechanical strengths comparable to grey Portland cement: classes 42.5 or 52.5 MPa at 28 days depending on quality. It complies with the EN 197-1 standard (CEM I 52.5 N or 42.5 N). Its superior strength makes it an excellent binder for architectural concrete and decorative precast elements. The surcharge is justified by aesthetics and purity, not by a drop in performance.
Technically yes, but the mixture loses the sought-after white color. To preserve the aesthetic effect of white cement, it must be used alone with white aggregates (white sand, marble gravel) and clean water. For light tile grout, pure white cement mortar is used. For colored concrete, white cement is essential to obtain vivid shades.
