Ability Building Colours

Ability manufactures abilox®, an extensive range of fine, UV resistant, inorganic mineral oxide colouring pigments.

abilox® powder colourants are used for permanently ‘through’ colouring concrete, asphalt, mortar, surface coatings, caulks and sealants, applied finishes, adhesives and other composite products and materials used in the building and construction industries. abilox® is available in a variety of attractive colours.

abilox® is part of a range of versatile, safe for the environment exterior/ interior products developed by Ability. These pigments, when for example, are used in the company’s range of long life paints, offer clean air technology with NO SOLVENTS, NO VOCS (Volatile Organic Compounds), contain little or no odour, are extremely weather resistant and offer durability for decades. These and many other features make non-toxic abilox® a colouring product in a superior class all it’s own.

Ability’s duro® powder pigment preparations are mixtures of alkaline resistant pure pigments and dispersing agents. In the main, they are expertly prepared, uniform blends of bright, clean organic pigments usually with certain ‘earthy’ more natural looking inorganic mineral oxide pigments.

duro® convenience colours provide an interesting and very cost-effective range of colourants for most composite products such as paints and inks. They are the result of intimately blending, in defined proportions, selected bright, strong organic pigments such as phythalocyanine or vat dyestuff blues and phthalo greens, with opaque UV resistant mineral (metal) oxide ‘earthy’ hue pigments such as cobalt blues, chromium oxide greens and iron oxide yellows, reds and blacks.

Efflorein® Mark 2 is a ready-to-use, high-solids, easily dispersible, flowable off-white powder admixture for cement-bound materials. It 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.
