Mix proportion:
  • Light: 1 bag per 240kg of premix
  • Medium: 3 bag per 240kg of premix
  • Dark: 6 bag per 240kg of premix
Limitations:
The optimal dosage of pigment suggested varies between 2% and 7%, based on the total weight of cementitious materials. A dosage of 10% of pigment based on the total weight of cementitious materials is the saturation point for pigment coloration. If the percentage of pigment is over 10% of the total weight of cementitious materials, there will be no benefits and it can affect the results considerably. In addition, if the percentage is lower than 1% of the total weight of cementitious materials, the coloration will be uneven and will affect the results.

Safety
Refer to material safety data sheet of the color desired.
