Frequently asked questions
Q1: What is a Portland cement?
A1: Concrete is basically made from portland cement, water and aggregates. Portland cement is nothing but a hydraulic cement that hardens in water to form a water-resistant compound. The hydration products as output act as binder to hold the aggregates together to form concrete. The colour and quality of the resulting concrete which are similar to Portland stone, a kind of limestone found in England. That is the reason it is called Portland cement.
