Re: Issues with a product made with White Cement

45 minutes is very low... Even 95 is strange for me. What standard do you have???? Definitely not EN-197 1. Check what is written in, it is out the norm! You do not need any other evidences. Check the accuracy of your testing, ensure the compliance to the norm and contact producer. Good luck!
