Efflorescence can be controlled with Ability products
At Ability we understand that the foundation of any great project needs to be 100 percent from the start.
Efflorescence has been a common problem that can be controlled by a unique product developed by Ability called Efflorein® Mark 2 which is a multi purpose, performance enhancing concrete admixture.
Efflorein® Mark 2 has been specifically developed to control the occurrence of efflorescence and the problems associated with salt bloom in Portland cement concrete, mortar and grout products, while also helping to improve a range of other concrete performance characteristics in both the plastic and hardened states.
Another important aspect of the final success of a project is accurate colour correctness in the detailing. Ability has excellent news in this department!
We offer some of the most innovative and reliable colouring products for cement and for colour matching cement coatings.
Many Australian professionals are very familiar with our extensive range of abilox® fine, UV resistant, inorganic mineral oxide colouring pigments and with Ability’s eco-friendly duro paint™ our long lasting, all weather resistant, guaranteed for 20 years (conditions apply) colour coating range.
These products powerfully enhance all urban project work - resulting in outstanding durable colour matching within the cement itself as well as for surrounding cement areas that need durable coloured coatings to match.
To assist with projects, Ability offers:
• over 2 decades of industry experience and knowledge
• friendly and reliable service to assist with the practical applications of our cement pigments and possible combinations with our long life products
• over 240 colours (e.g. 60 abilox colours, 4 shades of each, creates 240 colour alternatives)
• colour cards and samples
• colour sample cement biscuits in both off-white and grey cement
• a variety of Ability products that work together to assist you to achieve maximum durability and colour correctness in your cement coatings as well as with matching extra long life cement paint finishes.
