setting time
Cure duration measure
Setting time is how long a material takes to harden or cure after mixing or application.
The term appears most often with concrete, plaster, adhesives, and epoxy: The setting time for this cement is about four hours.
Factors like temperature and humidity affect setting time—cold slows it, heat accelerates it.
