When cement hydrates more quickly the amount of time needed for setting is cut down significantly When the width per centimetre w/cm is raised the amount of time needed to set increases as well Does gypsum prolong the initial setting time If the gypsum content is below 15 wt % the setting time will rise dramatically

Hydration chemistry of cement The reaction of cement when mixed with water is called hydration Both C3S and C2S make up nearly 75% of cement The hydration of these compounds is responsible for the setting and hardening of cement Hydration of cement is an exothermic reaction Hydration continues as long as heat and moisture are available All four Bogue compounds along with gypsum are involved in
