Description
1) A strong adhesive. Examples are rubber cement and cellulose cement.
2) A finely powdered inorganic material that can be mixed with water then dried to form a solid, durable mass. Examples of cement materials are plaster, lime, pozzolan cement and portland cement.
3) A natural mineral material, usually chemically precipitated, that occurs in the spaces among the individual grains of a consolidated sedimentary rock, thereby binding the grains together as a rigid mass. Common cements are silica, carbonates, and iron oxides.
