white cement

Light-coloredite binder

White cement is Portland cement manufactured to be white or near-white rather than the typical gray.

Made with raw materials low in iron and other coloring oxides, it's used where color matters—architectural concrete, terrazzo, stucco, and decorative work where pigments will be added: The contractor specified white cement for the exposed aggregate panels.
