What is Cement?

Cement is a key ingredient in construction—it’s a fine, gray powder that, when mixed with water, forms a paste that hardens over time. It’s most commonly used to make concrete, which is a blend of cement, sand, gravel, and water. The hardening process happens through a chemical reaction called hydration, where cement binds the other materials together to create a strong, durable substance.
