Abstract: Mixing of copper sulphate into Magnesium Oxysulfate Cement results in remarkable increase in strength and water tightness of the cement.  Setting periods of the cement have also been increased. Other Properties such as Weathering Effects, Moisture Ingress, Compressive Strength, and Linear Changes have also been studied.

Keywords: cement, copper sulphate, magnesium oxysulphate, strength, durability
