Results of tests conducted on crushing test cubes made from CCS Colour Hardener reveal the following typical strengths:
1 Day |
28 MPA |
3 Days |
45 MPA |
28 Days |
up to 79 MPA |
The above early, as well as long term strengths ensure a strong, abrasive-resistant finish is achieved.
Abrasion resistance actually improves with sufficient application of CCS Colour Hardener (coloured pre-mix) to the surface.
The following table details the potential increases in abrasion resistance gained from applying the recommended quantities of CCS Colour Hardener.
