A building material made by grinding calcite limestone and clay to a fine powder which can be mixed with water and poured to set as a solid mass. Also used in making mortar or concrete. Coal Tar - Coal tar is a common ingredient used in the production of pavement sealer due to chemical and UV resistance properties. Coal Tar Emulsion - A pavement sealer consisting of coal tar, water, emulsifiers, and filler designed to protect and beautify asphalt pavement. Coal tar also provides oil and gasoline resistance.
Finely ground calcined rock and clay materials that form the binder in concrete. Portland cement weighs about 97 pounds per cubic foot.
concrete pavement is sometimes referred to as cement; "they stood on the gray cement beside the pool"
a building material that is a powder made of a mixture of calcined limestone and clay; used with water and sand or gravel to make concrete and mortar
something that hardens to act as adhesive material
bind or join with or as if with cement
a finely-powdered substance which possesses strong adhesive qualities when combined with water
a mortar that sets in the presence of water and is classified as a hydraulic mortar
A material that binds particles together in a mixture.
A substance (often a ceramic) that by chemical reaction binds particulate aggregates into a cohesive structure. With hydraulic cements the chemical reaction is one of hydration, involving water.
A hydraulic mixture, without aggregate, consisting of a calcined mixture of clay and pulverized limestone.
is the natural or synthetic material which binds rock particles together. In sedimentary rocks, the cementing substances include silica, calcite, clay and iron oxide.
A powdered substance of lime and clay, mixed with water and sand to make mortar (an adhesive) or with water, sand and gravel to make concrete.
Cement is the vital ingredient of concrete. Cement sheets refer to the sheets using cement and reinforcing fibres to form a flat lining sheet with amazing weather resistance. Fibro was the most common and in recent years, newer versions of these boards were developed with increased flexibility. Old sheet used to contain asbestos fibres as the main reinforcement and are not available on the market today.
In the adhesive sense, a substance bonding two materials by chemical or solvent action.
The gray powder that is the "glue" in concrete. Portland cement. Also, any adhesive.
In this context a quick-setting binder for making mortars and concretes. By far the most widespread cement is the Portland Cement (OPC) formed by grinding a clinker which has been prepared at high kiln temperatures from a mixture of clay and limestone. There are, however, other forms of cement including ënatural cementsí formed from naturally occurring nodules of calcareous clay (such as Septaria). A distinction between these and other hydraulic limes is that cements must be ground to a fine powder before they can slake.
A calcium alumina silicate with hydraulic properties that enable it to act as glue binding other materials together and used in construction.
A diagenetic process in the formation, binding particles together in a sediment. Common cement mineralogy is calcareous (calcite) and silceous (quartz).
A dry powder mixture of lime, clay and gypsum that is finely ground. When it is mixed with water, a chemical reaction occurs that causes it to harden.
a substance that can be used to build together aggregates of sand or stone into a cohesive structure. May be a single compound or a mixture. May be hydraulic set, air set or chemical set.
A material or mixture of materials (without aggregate) which in a plastic state, possesses adhesive and cohesive properties and hardens in place. This term is often used incorrectly for concrete, e.g. a "cement" block for concrete block.
a powder consisting of alumina, silica, lime and other substances. It hardens when mixed with water and is used to bond casing to the walls of the borehole and to prevent fluids from migrating between permeable zones.
Modern Portland cement is the end product of a process by which extremely high temperatures are applied to finely ground materials-often basic elements of limestone, clay, and shale-containing four key elements: calcium, silica, aluminum, and iron.
Any material used to bind materials together following curing.
An adhesive used to bond plastics that is a “solution†of a plastic resin and a volatile solvent.
Usually refers to portland cement which when mixed with sand, gravel, and water forms concrete. Generally, cement is an adhesive; specifically, it is that type of adhesive which sets by virtue of a chemical reaction.
a dry powder that hardens after mixing with water. It is an ingredient in concrete.
Portland cement is a gray powder like substance which acts as a binder in concrete.
Finely powdered mixtures of inorganic compounds which when combined with water hardens with hydration.
A fine powdered material that is gray in color. When mixed with water, it sets and binds together to form a hard, solid material. Cement is used to make concrete and mortar. Synonym: Portland cement.
Dry powder that reacts chemically with water to bind the particles of aggregate, forming concrete. Portland cement is typically used in concrete production.
A powder that serves as the binding element in concrete and mortar. Also, any adhesive.
(1) A powder consisting of alumina, silica, lime, and other substances which hardens when mixed with water. Extensively used in the oil industry to bond casing to the walls of the wellbore.
Alumina cement is a refractory type of cement containing calcium aluminates and alumina used for production of refractory concretes.
A material that helps the binding of rock, mineral and / or fossil fragments together by precipitation of minerals from water in the pores of the sediment to form a harder sedimentary rock.
Natural or synthetic material that binds rock particles together. In sedimentary rocks this may be silica, carbonate, clay or iron oxide.
The powder which reacts chemically with water to bond aggregate together to form concrete.
A material composed of fine ground powders that hardens when mixed with water. Cement is only one component of concrete. The gray powder that is the "glue" in concrete.
Portland cement is used to bind aggregates and sand together to form concrete. Alternately, glue used to adhere things together.
Cement is a mixture that holds things together
In the most general sense of the word, cement is a binder, a substance which sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. The name "cement" goes back to the Romans who used the term "opus caementitium" to describe masonry which resembled concrete and was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives which were added to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were later referred to as cementum, cimentum, cäment and cement.
