Is white cement a heat resistance?

White cement tends to have good heat resistance properties, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. It can withstand heat up to certain temperatures depending on the specific composition and quality of the cement. However, for extreme heat conditions, it may not be as heat resistant as other specialized materials like refractory cements.

Why does concrete have a higher heat capacity than sand?

Concrete is a composite material made of cement, sand, and gravel. The presence of cement in concrete gives it a higher heat capacity compared to sand alone because cement has a higher specific heat capacity than sand. This allows concrete to absorb and retain more heat energy before its temperature changes significantly.
