What are the raw materials of cement products? What's the function?

Answer:

Sand。 Gravel occupies a very large volume in concrete production, reaching 70%~80%. The aggregate surface, structure, adsorption and water content of aggregate should be required. The appropriate amount of sand and gravel can save cement, reduce the cost of concrete production, and improve the strength of concrete.
Cement has a great influence on the properties of concrete. The kinds and quantities of cement containing minerals and the fineness of cement will affect the quality of cement products. The calcium silicate three in cement is an important factor in the coagulation of cement products. The reaction between three calcium silicate and water leads to the production of hydrated calcium silicate, and the hydrated calcium silicate gel acts as a cementing agent for aggregate and aggregate in concrete.
Water is necessary for the production of cement products, the role of water is to cement hydration. Generally, the water cement ratio of concrete is 0.40~0.65. If the water is too large, it will leave a hole in the concrete, which will affect the strength, density and durability of the concrete and even cause water leakage.
