Sementpõhised

Sementpõhised refers to materials or products that use cement as a primary binding agent. Cement itself is a binder, a substance used for construction that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials to bind them together. In the context of sementpõhised products, this means that cement is mixed with aggregates like sand, gravel, or crushed stone, along with water, to create a composite material.

The most common example of a sementpõhised material is concrete. Concrete is formed when cement, water, and aggregates are mixed. The chemical reaction between cement and water, known as hydration, causes the mixture to harden and gain strength. This makes concrete incredibly versatile and widely used in construction for foundations, walls, floors, bridges, and countless other applications.

Beyond traditional concrete, the term sementpõhised can also encompass a broader range of products. This includes cement-based mortars, which typically use finer aggregates like sand, and are used for masonry, plastering, and filling gaps. Other sementpõhised materials might include cement-bound particleboards, where wood particles are bound together with cement, or specialized grouts and repair compounds designed for specific industrial or construction purposes. The inherent properties of cement, such as its strength, durability, and resistance to fire and water, make sementpõhised materials a fundamental component of modern infrastructure and building.
