  1. Top 10 different types of cement

  2. Cement is a binding material, which binds the aggregates and reinforcing materials together. When technology developed, quality and types of cement also has been developed. There are different types cement materials available in the market. Therefore, a lot of cement manufactures industries also available around the world. However, different types of cement materials are used for various construction works. Continue reading to know about different types of cements.

  3. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) • Ordinary Portland cement is widely used for ordinary construction work. The composition of Ordinary Portland Cement is argillaceous or silicates of alumina (clay and shale), and calcareous or calcium carbonate (limestone, chalk, and marl). It is mostly used for general construction purposes as well as most of the masonry works.

  4. Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) • Portland Pozzolana Cement is made with OPC clinker, Gypsum, and Pozzolana material. Pozzolana is natural or synthetic materials, which contains silica in reactive forms. It is mostly used in hydraulic structures, marine structures, construction near the seashore, dam construction, and to manufacture of precast sewage pipes etc. Also, it gives a better surface finish; so, it is used in decorative and art structures.

  5. Rapid Hardening Cement • In the Rapid Hardening Cement, Tri-calcium silicate is present in OPC with higher content. Rapid hardening gypsum plasteris used where rapid construction is needed such as construction of pavement because it gives high strength to the structure.

  6. Quick Setting Cement • Quick Setting Cement is cement, which is used where it’s needed to be set in a short time. It is made with clinker, aluminium sulphate, and more. It is mostly used in underwater constructions, rainy and cold weather conditions, higher temperature where water evaporates easily, and anchoring or rock bolt mining and tunnelling.

  7. Low Heat cement • Low Heat cement is a spatial type of cement, which produces low heat of hydration during setting. Some chemical compositions are used to reduce the heat of hydration. It is made with low percentage of tricalcium aluminates, and higher percentage of declaim silicate. It is mostly used to construct dam’s large footing, large raft slabs, wind turbine plinths, and chemical and cement plants.
