It is a fine powder made by grinding a mixture of clay and limestone which is then heated at a high temperature. It is mixed with water and used as a binding material in the construction industry. Depending on its capability to set in the presence of water, it is categorized as hydraulic and non-hydraulic. Non-hydraulic cement reacts with the carbon dioxide in the environment to set and offers optimal resistance against chemicals. Whereas, hydraulic cement hardens quickly due to a chemical reaction between water and the dry ingredients.
