What pigment should I use to color concrete or mortar?
The choice depends on the material to be colored, the dosing system, and the intended finish. Pavicret offers iron oxide-based powder pigments, such as Pavicret Pigments; integral pigmentation systems, such as HD Pigments; and Playcolor inorganic pigments for various applications. It is important to check the compatibility and technical recommendations for each product.
How much pigment is needed to color concrete?
The dosage depends on the pigment, the type of cement, and the desired color intensity. At Pavicret Pigments, the color chart uses 3% pigment by weight of the gray cement as a reference. Other systems, such as HD Pigments, have their own dosage recommendations. It is advisable to conduct preliminary tests and follow the product’s technical data sheet.
Why can the color of pigmented concrete vary from one batch to the next?
Differences in shade may be due to variations in the dosage of pigment, cement, aggregates, the water-to-cement ratio, or mixing and curing conditions. To achieve a uniform color, it is important to keep the materials, proportions, and mixing procedure consistent, as well as to verify the result in advance using a sample.
