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,Portland cement and Hydraulic 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.
