Clinker is the primary material used in cement production, formed by heating a mixture of limestone, clay, and other minerals at a temperature of approximately 1,450°C. - Main Components: Tricalcium silicate (C3S), Dicalcium silicate (C2S), Tricalcium aluminate (C3A), and Tetracalcium aluminoferrite (C4AF). - Production Process: After heating, clinker is cooled and finely ground, then mixed with gypsum to produce cement. - Applications: Clinker is a key component in Portland cement, widely used in residential construction, roadways, and industrial projects. The quality of clinker directly impacts the strength and bonding properties of cement.

- Cement is the final product, made by grinding clinker and mixing it with gypsum and other additives. When mixed with water, cement forms a workable paste that hardens into a durable material, widely used in housing, bridges, roads, and industrial construction.
