Binders are substances that set, solidify, and stick to other materials to bind them together. Cement is one type of binder used in buildings.
Geopolymer cement and portland cement are the two primary types of cement. The majority of the time, cement is used to bind aggregate, which is made up of sand and gravel.
Mortar for masonry is made when fine aggregate (sand) is mixed in, and concrete is made when sand and gravel are combined. Due to water being the planet’s most consumed resource, it is the material that is utilised the most frequently overall.
When used in construction, cement can be either hydraulic or non-hydraulic, depending on the cement’s ability to set in the presence of water. Inorganic cement is occasionally used; it is typically lime- or calcium-silicate-based.
