Indicative Test Results
Slip resistance (AS/NZS 4586-2004) - 58V (risk of slipping when wet = very low)
Flexural strength (ASTM C880) (dried) - 19.4 MPa
Flexural strength (ASTM C880) (wet) - 14.6 MPa
Density (ASTM C97-02) - 2416 kg/m3
Water absorption (ASTM C97-02) by volume - 2.5%
Water absorption (ASTM C97-02) by weight - 2.17%
Resistance to salt attack weight loss (AS/NZS 4456.10) - 0.8%
Resistance to salt attack classification (AS/NZS 4456.10) - A (suitable for wet, dry & salt attack cycles)
Resistance to salt attack (AS/NZS 4456.10) mode of decay - no decay visible
NB The benchmarks for use of stone around salt water pools is 0.1% weight loss or less with a minimum slip resistance classification of W.
