Abstract
Abstract A hardenable composition which comprises (i) a poly(carboxylic acid) or precursor thereof (as herein defined); (ii) a particulate ion-leachable silicate, aluminosilicate or metal oxide reactable with (i) in the presence of water to set to a hardened composition; and (iii) a compound comprising at least one phosphorus-carbon or phosphorus-boron covalent bond, in an amount effective in service to extend the working time of the composition.
