Strong Orange Pigment We have a variety of unique colour pigments available for applying to casted patio slabs or garden ornaments. The pigment can be added to any wet pour concrete, mortar renders or paints as well, to display a wide range of colours that are available. Our pigments are high quality, dry, lightfast, odourless, alkali and weather resistant, UV stable, non-hazardous. The powdered pigment is added during the mixing process of the material. This product is suitable for and should never be applied to the external surface of any material as it will not stick and will run. Due to individual computer monitors rendering different colours, we cannot guarantee that the pigment image that you are buying is the exact colour of the pigment, although we can guarantee that it will be very close within the colour spectrum. We cannot be held responsible for any colour issues of our pigments, there are simply too many variables that are out of our control. The ratio of pigment to mix is relative to the amount of powdered cement in your mix, in most cases somewhere between 2-8% (20-80grams of pigment for every kilogram of powdered cement). There is no best answer to the question 'How much pigment do I need?' Some of our clients have used pigments in concentrations from 1% up to 10% anything above 10% concentration is starting to weaken the concrete so 10% is the maximum ratio. In most cases, you will need between 1.0kgs and 2.0kgs for every 25kgs bag of powdered cement. Colour of the finished product depends on a number of different factors not related to pigment itself - The colour of the sand & aggregate and the type and colour of powdered cement (the lighter the sand the better the result of the finished product) - White cement will always give you a colour closer to that of the pigment itself, however white cement is better for lighter colours and grey cement for darker colours as you don’t need as much to get closer to the target colour
