What is cement ?
Answer (EN 197-1)

Cement is a hydraulic binder,


i.e. a finely ground inorganic matter
which mixed with water to cement paste
solidifies by hydration and hardens to cement stone
of a defined strength. The solidified cement
remains dimensionally stable and
maintains it strength also under water.

Clinker minerals
Tricalciumsilicate, Alite

C3S C2S C 3A C4AF

Properties:
Highly hydraulic, high initial strength, good afterhardening,
moderate setting heat, average tendency towards shrinkage

Smaller alite crystals are:


More reactive, easier to grind

Size depends on:


Amount and viscosity of melt
Fine quartz and calcite favour small crystals
Steep temperature profile, short retention time
Amount of foreign atoms

C3S can incorporate up to 3% SO3( but lower hydraulicity)
