title: Characterization and aqueous extraction of calcium hydroxide materials.
abstract: Analysis of two single and eight dual product systems showed the former to be calcium hydroxide dispersed in an aqueous gel in methyl ethyl ketone solution of an acrylic polymer and the latter were cements based on the polymerization occurring when mixing salicylate esters with calcium hydroxide. Using water as an extractant under controlled conditions, specimens of the prepared materials produced marked differences in pH values over 24 hours and conductivity over 72 hours; also cumulative extractions over 26 weeks showed substantial variation in the amount of calcium hydroxide and other solubles.
