Will abilox® reduce the mechanical strengths of concretes and mortars?
No. In a given concrete formula or mix design, abilox® tends to marginally increase mechanical strengths – depending on the particular pigment. Some pigments have virtually no effect, with no change, while others if the minimum water is retained in the cement bound material by applying a single coat of Duro-Seel Clear, provide a significant increase. Resistance to abrasive wear may also be increased.
