What is cement? Cement is a fine mineral powder manufactured with very precise processes. Mixed with water, this powder transforms into a paste that binds and hardens when submerged in water. Because the composition and fineness of the powder may vary, cement has different properties depending upon its makeup. Cement is the main component of concrete. It's an economical, high-quality construction material used in construction projects worldwide.

Cement is made by grinding together a mixture of limestone and clay, which is then heated at a temperature of 1,450°C. What results is a granular substance called "clinker," a combination of calcium, silicate, alumina and iron oxide.

The Vic at Group manufactures and markets various types of cement, based on the chemical composition of the raw materials that are used and the addition of complementary constituents (components) during the stages of grinding and refining. Each cement type has specific applications. These include residential construction, civil engineering structures, underground work and the production of concrete for harsh environments or in highly corrosive conditions.
