Setting time (s) at different storage temperatures and equilibration times. This graph shows the relationship between the mean setting time (s) and storage temperature (°C) of the acrylic bone cement at various equilibration times. Note that a minimum equilibration time of 60 min was required for the setting time of the cements stored at 24 and 28 °C to be statistically insignificant (p value >0.05) when compared to the control of 20 °C
