Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If standard gray cement used in non-exposed architectural mixes
Gray variants don't qualify as white cement regardless of fineness.
If refractory white cement mixes for high-temperature applications
Dolomite ramming mixes or refractory cements shift to investment cements.
If precast white cement shapes or blocks
Finished refractory bricks from white cement go to Chapter 69 articles.
