The main characteristics and advantages of white cements can be summarized as follows: 

• Constant and stable whiteness 
• Excellent aesthetic yield 
• Limited amount of chromophore ions (Chromium, iron, manganese, nickel and cobalt)
• Mechanical strengths equal or higher than grey Portland of equal class 
• Reduction of demoulding time 
• Excellent environment insertion owing large range of color obtainable  with a white base 
• Easily obtainable pastel shades

  
White Cements are elected for the following applications:    

• Prefabricate structures 
• Prestressed structures
• All kind of structural and not structural concretes 
• Not prestressed elevated structures or morphologically light
• Building works of value 
• Castings with colored aggregates 
• Premixed mortars 
• Colored mortars and concretes
• Self-locking blocks
• Architectonic blocks  

The range of white cements is the ideal base for the production of colored mortars and concretes.  Beyond the facility of obtaining the desired tonalities - particularly clear pastel tints -  the white cements are a factor of immediate economy, since they allow to save on the quantitative of pigments.  With white cements it is possible moreover to realize incomparable tints, taking the  advantage of the natural combined colorations.
