White Portland cement is a type of cement that is white and made by using limestone, clay, and gypsum. It is a hydraulic binder that hardens when mixed with water and finds widespread use in construction, masonry, and other applications. Its primary function is to provide aesthetic advantages, strength, and durability to materials. White Portland cement is commonly utilized in architectural concrete, decorative concrete, terrazzo flooring, and tile grouts. Its color neutrality makes it an ideal choice for achieving consistent and vibrant color results when pigments or dyes are added.
