• Ordinary Portland cement 

It is the most common type of cement use. It produces in different grades. The most common is Grade-53, 43 and 33. It uses for construction of residential, commercial and other constructions. It forms by burning clay and limestone at high temperature. And grinding it with Gypsum. 

• Acid Resistance Cement 

It uses for acid-resistance in the chemical industry. It uses for the storage of acids and chemicals in large Tanks. And it prevents white blooming and efflorescence in storage tanks.
 

• Rapid Hardening Cement 

It uses in the urgent repair works, concreting in cold weather. And it attains high strength quickly. It mainly uses in the field of Marine structures, airfield, highway pavements and in bridge decks. 

• Sulpher Resisting Cement 

It uses in the structure affects by sulfate attacks. It uses mainly in the construction of water supply, sewage treatment plant, dams, and Lining of canals. 

• White Cement 

It is white in colour. And does not contains any colouring chemicals. It uses for architectural decorative purposes and in aerodromes. It is costly.

• Colour Cement 

This cement contains coloring pigments. The amount of colouring material varies from 5 to 10%. chromium gives a green colour. The cobalt gives a blue color. And iron oxides give a brown colour. It uses in swimming pools, garden parks, tennis courts, and for finishing of floors and external surfaces.

• High Strength Cement 

High Strength Cement uses in the construction of special types of work to increase the strength of the structure. It uses for multi-story complex, railway sleepers, prestressed concrete and precast constructions.

• High Alumina Cement 

It contains 32% of alumina in it. Its setting time is more than 3.5 hours. And gives more time for mixing and placing operations. It generates a large amount of heat mixing with water. So it not affects by frost. It uses in chemical plants.

• Quick Setting Cement 

It sets quickly. And consist of less amount of gypsum. The initial setting time is 5 minutes. And the final setting time is 30 minutes. It mainly uses int the construction of a bridge across river and sea.

• Hydrophobic Cement 

Hydrophobic Cement mainly uses to store cement for a long time in wet climatic conditions. And at aqua constructions.

• Expansive Cement 

On curing cement shrinks normally. But in this type of cement, it expands on curing. It mainly uses for water retaining structures like sumps, dams water tanks and for repairing concrete structures.
