| Technical purpose of product or process | Cement is the key ingredient in concrete. When mixed with water and aggregates such as sand and gravel, it forms a paste that binds the aggregates together to create concrete. Cement can also be mixed with sand and water to create mortar or grout, used as a bonding agent between bricks, stones, or concrete blocks in masonry construction. Cement can also be used to stabilise and improve the properties of soil in construction projects. Soil-cement mixtures are created by mixing cement with soil to increase its strength, durability, and load-bearing capacity. This technique is commonly used in road construction, building foundations, and slope stabilisation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Technology description including background system | Cement is a hydraulic binder. It consists of a fine powder made from a mixture of limestone, clay, and other minerals that are heated at high temperatures in a kiln. The process, known as calcination, transforms the raw materials into clinker, which is then ground into a fine powder to produce cement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
