Influencing Factors of Setting Time about Magnesium Phosphate Cement

Abstract:

Because the setting time of magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) was too quick, its further application was restricted. Influence factors about magnesium phosphate cement setting time are summarized and the influence laws are studied in the paper. The results show that with the increase of phosphorus to magnesium ratio (P/Mg) or boron to magnesium ratio (B/Mg), the setting time is both obviously prolonged. The effect of water to binder ratio (W/C) on the setting time of MPC has an optimal point. As the specific surface area increases gradually, the setting time of MPC is greatly shortened. Although fly ash has effect on setting time of MPC, the effect is very small. At the same time, the setting time is closely related with environmental temperature, the pH value of the system and mixing volume.
