What’s the Difference Between Cement, Concrete, and Mortar?
Cement is a powdery ingredient of both concrete and mortar, and is made up of lime, silica, alumina, iron, and gypsum. Concrete. Concrete is made up of cement, sand, water, and some coarse aggregate such as rock chips, pebbles or crushed stone. Mortar. Mortar consists of a binding agent, sand, water, and lime.
