Ordinary Portland Cement

Joseph Aspdin is credited with invention of “Portland Cement” which he got patented in 1824.  

It was manufactured by mixing & grinding hard lime stones and finely divided clay into form of slurry & then calcining it in a furnace. 

Portland Cement is the generic term for fine, gray or white powder, manufactured using high temperature to produce calcium silicates that, in the presence of water, will undergo hydration producing a product that will bring aggregates together to produce mortar, stucco or concrete.

Portland cement is hydraulic cement, which means that it sets and hardens due to a chemical reaction with water.
