✦ Synopsis

A freshly made Portland cement paste is a very unusual fluid. It behaves like a colloidal suspension, although cement particles are much coarser than conventional colloid size. The origins of this colloidal behaviour of a cement paste have been traced to high density and high viscosity of the paste itself. Its high density and viscosity hinder the sedimentation of cement grains and allow for the colloid behaviour to develop.
