Portland Cement

The most common type of hydraulic cement used in modern construction, named after Portland stone for its similar appearance when set. Portland cement is made by heating limestone and clay in a kiln to form clinker, which is then ground with gypsum. It forms the basis of most modern mortars and concrete, providing high strength and durability through chemical reaction with water.
