Grey Portland cement

The activity generating the emissions is cement mortar production. The Reference Product is cement mortar. The product "cement mortar" represents a mixture of cement and sand. This product belongs to mortar group III, which means that the ratio of the ingredients can vary in terms of cement/sand volume ratio from 1:2.5 to 1:7 depending on the scope of the cement mortar. Cement mortar can be used indoor as well as outdoor. It is suitable for walling, plastering and mending of parts. It is also used to make socles and walls underground or for plastering areas which have to be highly shock-resistant. The differences between mortar and plaster lie in the capacity of plasters to take better finish, which depend to a very large extent on the type of sand used in the mix. For mortar we use coarse particles of sand. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/361/documentation
