Improved hydraulic cement mixes are made by incorporating into such mixes an admixture comprising at least one acetic acid ester of a glycol in an amount sufficient to increase the compressive strength of products made from such mixes. In portland-type cement mixes, these admixtures also act as set accelerators. In high-alumina cement mixes, the admixtures not only increase strength but also inhibit the spontaneous loss of strength which is generally characteristic of high-alumina cements. A preferred admixture is ethylene glycol diacetate in an amount of up to about 3.0% by weight based upon the weight of the cement, preferably in an amount of between about 0.01% and 2.0% by weight.
