In its simplest form, concrete is a mixture of paste and aggregates, or rocks. The paste, composed of portland cement and water, coats the surface of the fine (small) and coarse (larger) aggregates. Through a chemical reaction called hydration, the paste hardens and gains strength to form the rock-like mass known as concrete.

Concrete powder determines the texture and strength of the concrete mixture that is being made. Concrete is made when the concrete powder is made into a paste by adding water and then adding aggregates like gravel and sand to the mixture to harden it. The most common type of concrete powder that we use today is Portland cement powder.
