Temperature increase may decrease the setting

Setting Time: According to the theoretical background, the temperature increase may decrease the setting; however, not necessarily. The sample which implied using chilled water has shown the latest initial (1.71 times longer that the sample with no additive (1), and effect of retardation) and final set (equal to the sample with no additive (1)). Warm water made the process more accelerated comparing to that chilled; however, the values of initial and final set are much bigger than those which took place in cases with other additives. Comparing to the sample with no additive (1), the initial set is 1.29 times longer, and the final set is only 0,786 (effect of acceleration).
