1. Any composition which at one temperature 
or one degree of moisture is plastic and at an- 
other is tenacious. Cements are used for uniting ma- 
terials of the same kind or of different kinds, or for form- 
ing smooth and impervious surfaces or coatings. The term 
properly includes papier-mache, gums, glues, mucilages, 
limes, mortars, and a great number of compounds of such 
nature as to admit of their assuming, under certain condi- 
tions, sticky, tenacious, or stone-like consistency. Cements 
are divided into classes, according to their use, as glaai- 
cement, etc. Tlie materials forming the cement are mixed 
with water, acids, oils, etc., to a paste, and applied to the 
surfaces to be joined together or coated, and then dried ; 
or, either wet or dry, are applied hot, or are applied and 
then heated, when they become hard and tenacious. This 
hardening is called the "setting" of the cement. The 
cements in use in the arts are exceedingly numerous, and 
are composed of a great variety of materials.
