Acid and water solubility and strength of calcium hydroxide bases
M Hwas
and
JL Sandrik
The solubility in water and 37% phosphoric acid, and compressive strength of four brands of hard-setting calcium hydroxide base materials were studied. Results were highly variable among brands and no correlations appeared to exist between properties studied. One product was significantly different from the others with regard to acid solubility and compressive strength.
