No they are not.
Precast concrete with Edencrete Pz: "No cracks after 40 days (end of the test) while the controls cracked after 11 days"
"If the compressive strength isn’t increased substantially, the abrasive resistance isn’t increased substantially and the permeability isn’t increased substantially"
"Substantial" depends on the dose, and you continue to overlook that aspect. On top of that you seem to be claiming that abrasion resistance wasn't substantially increased when you pointed out in your previous post that results weren't stated. Unless that happens to be one of the tests which are not complete, it looks as though abrasion tests weren't part of the testing. You seem to be trying to spin the results to suit your negative commentary.
"since receiving these results KC has advised that it proposes to immediately commence trials of EdenCrete® in its own precast operations."
There is nothing abiguous or misleading about this statement. If you think KC Industries is wasting its shareholders money by doing internal precast trials with Edencrete, perhaps you should write to them. They don't seem to agree with you at the moment.
On the matter of dosage. EDE didn’t disclose the dosage. We should assume that the best dosage, as determined in Colorado testing with Korean cement, was used in these lab test results. Testing is now shifting to KC’s plant so we surely can’t assume that KC will undertake testing at other dosages.
Re durability, I said that abrasion resistance was a key measure. EDE didn’t provide a test result. Why? We have never seen a Ring Test result previous testing but we have seen abrasion resistance. Was abrasion resistance poor? Abrasion resistance is related to compressive strength, imho. It’s my opinion that, if abrasion resistance was tested, the results weren’t announced for, imho, obvious reasons.
My opinions only.
