Description

(Concrete Color Additive)
Conspec CMC Cement and Mortar Color Pigment Dye – Economy and versatility are the primary reasons why Conspec color pigments have enjoyed over 50 years of successful use in the concrete industry.  Architects and designers depend on Conspec Colors to offer the exact colors wanted to achieve compatibility or exciting contrast between concrete units. Colored concrete is a lasting asset which will add value to any commercial development or private home.
Colored pigments may be safely used for coloring of any type of portland cement concrete.  Integrally colored concrete is often used in highly visible areas such as exterior and interior concrete slabs for public buildings, homes, or factories.  Concrete areas such as floors, driveways, walkways, cart paths, curbing, pool decks, patios, patterned concrete, roof tiles, precast products, concrete curbing, concrete edgeing, stamped concrete, and cast-in-place concrete all are basic uses for colored concrete
Add 4-LBS of Conspec Color per every 94-LBS of Portland Cement, or 4-LBS of Conspec Color per every 80-LBS of Masonry Cement.
Description:
Dry powdered pigments for coloring concrete, stucco, plaster and other cementitious mixes. Pigments are inert, inorganic (except for Conspec’s “Deep Black”) non-fading mineral oxides that easily disperse in cement mixes. Conspec Corporation’s pigments comply with ASTM C-979.
Applications:
Colored concrete is one of the most visible sales tools in the construction industry and can immediately add value and uniqueness to a project. Color pigments are used in cast-in-place, precast concrete panels, concrete masonry units, plaster finishes, concrete pavers, masonry units, concrete, countertops, overlays, stucco, plaster, mortar, grout, and nearly every form of decorative concrete. Colored concrete can provide architects, owners, and contractors the opportunity to express individual and/or matching style and design.
Design Considerations:
Concrete made with gray cement is darker than concrete made with white cement. Using white cement can greatly enhance color intensity, but can also significantly impact project costs.
Key Factors:
In pigmented concrete, consistency from batch to batch is of primary concern. To achieve best application possible there needs to be consistency in each of the following: pigment/cement proportions (measured by weight, not volume), material sources, water/cement ratio, substrate density, and absorption rate, slab or precast element thickness, mixing time with other ingredients, finishing procedures and practices, weather conditions, and curing practices.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Actual colors can vary based on the mixing dose-rate to cement. As a general guideline add 4-LBS of Conspec Color per every 94-LBS of Cement, or 4-LBS of Conspec Color per every 80-LBS of Masonry Cement.
What Color should I use? Try the Sample Mix,
these are four of many base colors we offer that are used in stone and tile formulas. Due to the strength of the pigment, usually very little color is necessary to achieve the color desired… usually measured by the gram. You can make colored stone, colored tile, colored brick, colored pavers, colored stepping stones, colored cobblestones, colored stone veneer, colored walkways, decorative concrete forms, and more with these colors.
