Reaction speed basically depends of concentrations (or pressure) and temperature - if you keep these constant, reaction speed doesn't change.
You can speed up the reaction with catalyst or slow it down with an inhibitor - but that requires adding something to the mix (changing container material won't change much, as this particular reaction takes place in the bulk).
Sometimes it is possible to speed up the reaction with ionizing radiation (UV and dental cement for example), but that's opposite of what you need.
