composition:- composition of typical powder and liquid form is 1.)powder contains zinc oxide 2.)liquid contains eugenol
setting :- zno+H2o ----> zn(OH)2 zinc hydroxide react with eugenol to form a chelate water (H2O) is needed to initiate the reaction and is also form as by-product.
setting reaction accelerate by a.)zinc acetate dihydrate b.) high atmospheric pressure
c.)acetic acid
FASTER SETS by ===> high p/L ratio
properties :- 1.) compressive strength ranges from 3-55 Mpa
