Abstract:
The influence of phytic acid on the properties of zinc phosphate cement was studied by adding 2-13 wt% phytic acid to the liquid. Improved mechanical strength and stability were found for some cements prepared from commercial powders when liquids with increased phytic acid content were used. The results indicate that the formation of increased amounts of zinc phytate has a favorable effect on the properties of zinc phosphate cement.
