zementum

Zementum is a fictional material appearing in the animated television series Star Wars Rebels. It is a substance primarily used as a sealant or adhesive, particularly by the Galactic Empire. Its notable characteristic is its ability to harden rapidly, forming a strong, often difficult-to-remove bond.

In the series, Zementum is frequently depicted being used by Imperial stormtroopers and engineers to secure structures, seal off areas, or trap enemies. For instance, it has been used to seal bulkheads, repair damaged equipment, and even as a weapon to immobilize individuals. The material typically appears as a viscous liquid that, upon application or exposure to a catalyst, quickly solidifies into a rigid, often dark-colored substance. Its effectiveness as a sealant and its adhesive properties make it a convenient tool for Imperial operations, allowing for quick and secure containment or repair. While its exact composition and scientific properties are not detailed, its visual and functional representation within the show establishes it as a specialized Imperial material with practical, if sometimes obstructive, applications.
