Cement is one of the most important construction materials, used to bind sand, gravel, and other aggregates into strong, durable structures. The most common type is Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), while Portland Composite Cement (PCC) is also widely used for general building work. Cement is suitable for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects.
