• Cement is a combination of finely ground powders
  that are mixed with water, that is then set to a
  hard mass.

• OPC 53 grade is the most preferred type for
  specific applications like pre-stressed concrete
  and high strength concrete.
• Whereas, PPC is proven to be more suitable for
  normal house building, even in aggressive
  environments.
• PPC has a low setting time, compared to OPC but
  it hardens over a period of time, with proper
  curing.
