cement particles increases, water adhesion also increases and bleeding generally decreases. Based on its fineness, limestone use in cement can limit the migration of water and slightly decrease bleeding.3 While finishing best practices will not change, adjustments to mixture proportioning may require more attention.

Unfortunately, the Portland cement used as a binder is emissions-intensive. Global cement production totalled 4.1 billion metric tons in 2022. Just over half of that came from one country - China. On average, U.S. clinker production is responsible for about 842 kg of CO2 per ton of Portland cement produced.
