Liquid Cement Dye RED 1LTR

Name: Liquid Cement Dye

A permanent liquid dye for colouring cements, mortars, renders and screeds without affecting setting times.

Features: Formulated for easy incorporation into a mix. The high quality non-fading, light-fast pigments are ready dispersed for uniform mixing. – No loss in performance; when used as directed, see dosing and limitations. – UKCA Approved. – Conforms to EN12878:2014.

Application: For permanently colouring cements, mortars, concretes and renderings. Suitable for use in conjunction with other admixtures, e.g. Bond It Liquid Mortar Plasticiser, Integral Waterproofer, Frostproofer and Hardener and SBR Admixture.

Instructions: Preparation: Ensure surfaces are free from loose particles, oils and greases. Shake well before use. For optimum colour consistency the sand, cement and dye should be from the same batches. We recommend making a trial mix to ensure the colour is as required (including leaving to dry/set).
Application: Mix well, add the dye to the guaging water. Add to cement and sand and mix well until colour is dispersed. Once setting has begun any movement, e.g trowelling, will result in loss of colour uniformity. Colour will become lighter as cement dries. Pictures showing approximate shades are available on request from technical department. SHADE – APPROX DOSE PER 10Kg OF MORTAR

Limitations: Not suitable as a stain. Only to be used with a cement mix. Not suitable for structural concrete. Not suitable for lime based mixes. If a series of mixes is required for a large piece of work then variations in batches of sand, cement and the dye will results in some shade differences. Inconsistency in mix ratios, finishing and curing environments can result in small shade variations.
