Setting reaction
Exothermic reaction
Adding of water can accerlate the reaction.
Loss of water can lengthen the setting
reaction.

Frozen Slab technique
Frozen Slab technique. In this method, a glass
slab is cooled in a refrigerator at 6ºC or a freezer
at −10ºC. The amount of powder incorporated is
50–75% more than the normal, offsetting the
possible deleterious effects of incorporating water
into the mix from the condensed moisture.
Compressive and tensile strengths are not
significantly different from normal mixes

Working time and setting time
Working time commonly is 3-6 minute
Setting time is 2.5-8 minute(ADA
specification No.96)
Naghman Zuberi 7
How to extend the setting time ?
Reducing powder/ liquid ratio {not
recommended}
Mixing on the cool glass slap {no moisture}
Mixing over a large area.
Mixing cements in increments.

Mixing procedure
There are three steps:
First : add the small amount of powder into the
liquid
To achieve the slow neutralization of the liquid.
To control the reaction.
Naghman Zuberi 9
Mixing procedure
Second : Larger amount of powder is
added to liquid
For further saturation of liquid to newly form zinc
phosphate.
This steps may not effect by heat released from
the reaction.

Mixing procedure
Finally: the small amount of powder is
added again
To control the optimum consistency
