A cement is a binder, a chemical substance used for construction that sets, hardens & adheres to other materials to bind them together. China is the largest cement producer of the world. China consistently has produced more cement than any other country in the world for the past 18 years. 

 

Cementing chemicals are raw materials that possess excellent setting & hardening properties when mixed to a paste with water. Chemicals used to form cement are mentioned below - 

 

Lime : Lime is calcium oxide 

Deficiency in lime reduces the strength of the property to the cement

Deficiency in lime causes the cement to set quickly 

Excess lime makes cement unsound.

 

Silica : Silica is Silicon dioxide 

It impacts strength to cement 

 

Alumina :  Alumina is Aluminium oxide 

Excess Alumina weakens the cement 

 

Magnesia : Magnesia is magnesium oxide 

It shouldn’t be present more than 2% in the cement

 

Iron Oxide : It impacts colour to the cement

It acts as a flux 



Calcium Sulphate : It slows down the setting action of cement 

 

Sulphur Trioxide & Alkaline
