Cement
Cement-PPC/OPC/PSC
In India, there are three types of cement available in the market; Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) and Portland Slag Cement (PSC). All three of them can be used to construct buildings, big or small. PPC and PSC are also known as blended cements, since fly ash and slag are mixed with cement respectively

Cement is a key material in construction, serving as a binder that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials to bind them together. Here's an overview:
Types of Cement:
Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC): The most commonly used cement type for general construction purposes.
Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC): Contains pozzolanic materials that increase strength and reduce permeability.
Rapid Hardening Cement: Gains strength quickly, suitable for early-stage construction needs.
Low Heat Cement: Generates less heat during hydration, used in large-scale concrete structures.
Sulphate Resisting Cement: Resists attack by sulfates, ideal for construction in soils or waters containing high sulfate concentrations.
Properties:
Binding Material: Acts as a strong adhesive for building materials.
Setting Time: Typically takes a few hours to set and hardens over days.
Strength: Provides high compressive strength, essential for structural integrity.
Durability: Resistant to weathering, chemicals, and erosion.
Uses:
Concrete Production: Combined with aggregates and water to form concrete for building structures.
Plastering and Masonry: Used in mortar for bonding bricks and plastering walls.
Grouting and Repair: Fills gaps and repairs cracks in structures.
Paving and Flooring: Forms a solid base for roads and floors.
Key Benefits:
Versatility: Applicable in various construction tasks from small-scale repairs to large infrastructures.
Availability: Widely available and cost-effective.
High Strength: Ensures the durability and stability of structures.
