Key Points Limestone plays a crucial role in cement, acting as both a primary ingredient and an additive that boosts sustainability. It provides the calcium needed for cement to bind materials together, forming the basis of concrete. Modern uses, like in Portland-Limestone Cement (PLC), show it can reduce environmental impact and improve cement qualities, making…

Type IL cement exhibits improved resistance to chemical attacks compared to traditional Portland cement (Type I), primarily due to its composition and the incorporation of additional materials that enhance its durability in aggressive environments. The increased limestone content in Type IL cement contributes to a denser microstructure, reducing permeability and enhancing resistance to chemical ingress.…
