Ensuring durability and aesthetics of construction facilities, as well as environmental
issues are very important factors associated with the search for modern and
innovative materials and technologies The article discusses the classification and
properties of Portland consumer cements and innovative cements such as cements
for aeration of concrete and cements with the addition of titanium dioxide. The test
results of TioCem®CEM II/A-S 42.5 and Portland CEM I 42.5 cements are presented
that were based on experiments performed with the usage of bars made of standardized
mortar.
