PC4 cast iron cement is a specialized type of cement designed for applications requiring high strength and durability, particularly in environments where cast iron components are used. It typically exhibits excellent adhesion properties and resistance to thermal and mechanical stresses, making it suitable for repairing or bonding cast iron items. This cement is often used in industrial settings, as well as for heavy machinery and infrastructure projects. Its formulation may include additives to enhance performance and longevity.

YesWhite cement is stronger than grey cement.Due to low content of iron oxide and high content of limestone the strength is greater .
If the pipe is No Hub cast Iron you can use a mission cap If the cast Iron is bell then you caulk in a cast iron plug If the cast iron is a spigot end you get a transition coupling either standard weight CI or extra heavy and then use a cast iron cap in the transition coupling

Asbestos pipe is made of cement that contains asbestos fibers. Iron pipe is made from cast iron.
The cement is grey due to the presence of iron oxide.The cement is white due to the absence of iron oxide.Generally white cement has more strength than grey cement and it is more expensive.
There are rubber adapter couplings sold to adapt PVC to Cast Iron. "Fernco" in one brand sold in the U.S.
In the old days they used to use hot lead, nowadays you can cork it with Prattley putty (putty cement).

Iron is added to cement to improve its strength and durability. It helps in reducing cracking and increases the overall performance of the concrete. The iron also enhances the resistance of the cement to external factors such as weathering and corrosion.

no cement can not rust unless you add some type of iron or material that can oxidize into it
Iron is only in some cements used for certain things. Putting iron in the cement makes it stronger, which is why it is only needed for things that need extra strength, such as steam engines.
The uses of an iron oxide in cement is to add color and and to give?æhardness and strength. It also helps in the fusion of raw materials during production.
Depends on what you are using it for. If you aren't using it for preparing food products, JB Weld works wonders.
