Setting time of cement mortar and matters needing attention
Pay attention to the weather and temperature
In the meantime, you should pay attention to the weather and temperature. If the weather is dry and the temperature is high, concrete can completely set and harden in about three days under normal circumstances. However, if the temperature is very low and the humidity is very high, it takes time for the cement to completely hydrate. It is recommended that you use it again once a week or so to ensure the setting quality of concrete.
Normal temperature drying time
The normal temperature is 20 degrees, and it takes 5 to 8 hours for the cement to dry thoroughly. If the indoor temperature exceeds 10 degrees at room temperature, it will take 3-4 days to completely dry. If the temperature has exceeded 35 degrees in hot summer, it will be completely dry in less than two hours, and it will take less than two hours. After the cement is dry, it must be watered immediately to prevent it from drying out.
Effect of temperature on drying time
Generally speaking, the drying time of cement should be determined according to some factors. The higher the temperature, the faster the drying speed of cement. When the temperature is about 20 degrees, the cement will dry in 5~8 hours.
