Get PriceFly ash concrete is more likely to provide satisfactory scaling performance if the water cementitious materials ratio does not exceed and the level of fly ash does not exceed about 25 percent This of course assumes an adequate air void system is present in the concrete and that proper construction practices are adhered to Reference
Get PriceFly ash can make the entrained air content difficult to control And acid stains don t work as well with fly ash mixes as they do with straight portland cement mixes because acid stains react with calcium hydroxide in the concrete to produce color and there is less calcium hydroxide in a fly ash mix for reasons I ll explain below
