As the name of the cement denotes, hydro means water and phobic means
against. Hydrophobic cement is obtained by grinding Portland cement clinker wich a film-
forming substance such as oleic acid in order to reduce the rate of deterioration when the
cement is stored under unfavourable conditions. It is also known as Hydrographic cement
In this article we discuss about the manufacture, properties, uses, advantages, disadvantages
and safety precautions of hydrophobic cement
The process of manufacture of this special cement is same as that of portland cement. The
clinkers formed in the manufacture of cement are grinded with water repellent film substance
Acid or form a on the particle and
such as
Oleic Stearic Acid. These chemicals layer cement
does not allow water to mix and start hydration process in the transportation or storage
stage. Anyhow during the mixing praocess, due to great agitation, this layer of water repellent
break and allows the hydration to take place.
