White cement is manufactured with kiln temperatures that are higher than those used to produce gray cement. Limestone and other materials such as clay and iron oxide are added to the mix and heated in a rotating kiln at 2700°F. During this process, the materials go through a series of chemical and physical changes until they form a “clinker” which is then cooled and ground into a fine powder.
