How You Can Use White Cement To Handle Cracks In Concrete?

 White cement is a mixture of lime, sand and water. Lime is the main ingredient used in making concrete such as Portland cement and the amount of lime in a mixture is referred to as its "alkali content".

For homeowners with cracking concrete, filling the gaps with white cement is an economical and easy option. White cement is also known as builder’s lime or hydrated lime and it has a few advantages over other materials.

White cement cannot be applied on wet or damp concrete. In order to use white cement it must be dry. Once you have decided on a piece of dry concrete, you will need to mix together the ingredients for your white cement. The amount of water that you add to your mixture depends on the weather and the level of cracking (more cracks means more dilute).

Before beginning your project, be sure to cover the surrounding areas with sheets of newspapers or plastic sheeting. It is also a good idea to wear gloves and safety glasses when dealing with concrete.

In this post, we will explore white cement and its usefulness in repairing concrete. 

The Benefits of White Cement for Concrete Repair 

It’s important to know how white cement works before you start using it on your own home or business. White cement can be used in many ways to fix cracks in concrete. It can be used as a sealant, as a filler, and to patch the cracks. It is also used as an adhesive for anchoring metal reinforcement bars like rebar or mesh. Some of the benefits are that it is easy to use, and affordable.

You can use it to fill the gaps in marble flooring, vitrified tiles, and ceramic tiles. Moreover, you can mix the white cement with color pigments if you want to match the tile color by creating a single floor piece slab illusion.

The most common way of using white cement is to mix it with water and apply it directly on the crack. This will not only fill up the crack but also seal it from any further damage.

Another benefit of using white cement is that it dries quickly. This makes it perfect for repairs on cracks and other small holes in concrete which can dry out if left untreated. White cement also has a higher compressive strength than regular Portland cement, so it can be used to fill larger gaps between bricks or blocks as well as to repair more extensive damage to concrete structures.
