Definitions

  • the present disclosure generally relates to magnesium phosphate cement.
  • Magnesium phosphate cement is a variety of cement that often exhibits relatively high compressive strengths and extremely fast setting times. Not only may many magnesium phosphate cements provide a relatively high ultimate compressive strength, but many magnesium phosphate cements may also develop relatively early high compressive strengths, which may provide advantageous structural characteristics that may be utilized within a short time after forming. While magnesium phosphate cements may exhibit very fast set times, set times associated with magnesium phosphate cements can often be unpredictable, with the set times varying from batch to batch. Such variation and unpredictability can make working with magnesium phosphate cements challenging, and can greatly complicate planning and managing projects that utilize magnesium phosphate cements.
