Curing parameters

As cement curing is influenced by paste weight, curing temperature and time, precise figures cannot be given. For guidance purposes:

2 grams of paste @200°C will cure in 35 – 40 seconds
2 grams of paste @160°C will cure in 150 – 160 seconds

Prolonged exposure of curing cement to temperatures above 250°C should be avoided.

The above properties are given for guidance purposes only. Individual customer requirements should be assessed prior to the use of cement. Technical assistance and test methods are available on request.
