Boral General Purpose Cement (GP Cement) is a versatile, everyday cement used across a wide range of construction, trade and DIY applications. Supplied in GP cement bags, it is suitable for use in concrete, mortar and grout where no special performance characteristics are required.

General Purpose Cement is commonly specified for residential and light commercial construction, making it one of the most widely used cement types in Australia.

What is GP cement used for?

Type GP cement is designed for everyday construction applications where specialised properties such as high early strength, sulphate resistance or low heat are not required.

General Purpose Cement provides a reliable option for site‑mixed concrete and mortar, offering flexibility across a wide range of standard construction and maintenance projects.

If a project has specific performance or exposure requirements, other cement types may be more suitable.

GP cement vs other cement types

General Purpose Cement is intended for standard applications. Depending on project requirements, you may also consider:

• High Early Strength Cement for faster strength gain
• Off White Cement where colour consistency is important
• Special Purpose or sulphate‑resistant cement for aggressive environments

Refer to individual product pages or seek technical advice to select the most appropriate cement.
