Cement is a grey-colored, finely milled mineral powder used as a binding material in the construction of buildings. It is manufactured by grinding a mixture of limestone, clay, and marl and is mixed with water to form a hard mass. It hardens both in the air and water and retains its hardened state once attained. It exhibits excellent durability and strength and is extensively used for the mass construction of houses, civil works, and industrial estates. Besides this, it provides noise insulation and helps withstand extreme changes in climatic conditions and chemical attacks. At present, hydraulic and non-hydraulic cement are widely available.
