Other types of cement for example, mostly of gray powder, which in large industrial processes raw materials from the limestone, clay, sand and iron ore produced will be created. In general, the main area of application in the manufacture of mortar and concrete, thus connecting natural or artificial substances into one solid building material, the normal environmental conditions permanent. Because of the high strength and durability of concrete cement is one of the worlds most important binder materials.
