Cement is a powder-like substance created by mixing and heating clay and calcified lime with various other materials, such as silica, calcium, iron, and aluminum, which is usually used as a binding material in the field of construction. In addition to this application, cement is the main ingredient in the production of concrete. Cement has proved itself as a reliable binding material throughout history in the construction of various structures and products. Cement is especially important in that it is used to create concrete, which is a vital construction material.
