In the changing world, cement has become an indispensable item in the construction of every physical structure. Construction of physical structures cannot be thought of without the use of cement. After the Baisakh earthquake of 2072, the use of cement increased rapidly even in remote villages.
Cement is a 'chemical blinder'. Cement binds the sand, gravel and sand together. Generally there are two types of cement, brown and white. Today we are talking about the use of gray cement.
Various types of gray cement have been used in the world market. However, in the context of Nepal, three types of gray cement are being used namely OPC, PPC and PSC. The most commonly used cements are OPC and PPC. OPC is being used for pillars, beams and slopes while PPC is being used for applying plaster and mortar.
