What is Cement Clinker? Composition, Types Uses
Cement clinker is an intermediary product produced in the manufacturing of Portland Cement. It is solid and occurs as nodules or lumps measuring between 3 mm to 25 mm or 0.12 inches to 0.98 inches in diameter. It is formed by fusing limestone and aluminosilicate materials without melting them to the point of liquefication.
