Cement chemist notation

Cement chemist notation

Cement chemist notation (CCN) was developed to simplify the formulas which cement chemists use on a daily basis. It is a sort of "short hand" way of writing the chemical formula of oxides of calcium, silicon, and various metals. Below is a list of all of the abbreviations used:

The hyphens in C-S-H indicate a phase of variable composition, whilst CSH indicates a phase CaSiO4H2
