FAQs
What is the recommended dosage for Bostik Cementone No1 Powder Cement Colour?
The recommended dosage typically ranges from 1% to 10% of the cement weight, depending on the desired color intensity. Always refer to the specific product packaging for precise instructions and recommended ratios for your application.
Can I mix different colors of Cementone to create custom shades?
Yes, the Cementone range of colors is intermixable. You can blend different shades to achieve a wide spectrum of custom colors. Start with small test batches to perfect your desired hue.
Will this product affect the strength or workability of my concrete mix?
No, Cementone No1 Powder Cement Colour is specifically formulated not to affect the performance, strength, or workability of the cementitious mix when used at the recommended dosage.
Is this product suitable for exterior use?
Yes, it is suitable for both interior and exterior applications, offering lightfast and fade-resistant properties to withstand various environmental conditions.
How should I store the Cementone powder?
Store the powder in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place. This will prevent moisture absorption and maintain the pigment's quality and ease of dispersion.
What standards does this product conform to?
The pigments conform to EN 12878:2014 standards, ensuring their quality, lightfastness, and durability.
Can I use this to color pre-mixed concrete bags?
It is best to add the pigment to the dry components (cement, sand, aggregate) before adding water. If using a pre-mixed bag, ensure the pigment is thoroughly dispersed into the dry mix before hydration.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color distribution in the finished product.
Ensure the pigment powder was thoroughly mixed with the dry ingredients before adding water. Increase mixing time or use a mechanical mixer for better dispersal.
Color appears lighter or darker than expected.
Verify that the correct dosage of pigment was used relative to the cement content. Check product packaging for recommended ratios and adjust for future batches if necessary. Note that aggregate color and type can also influence the final shade.
Product clumps or is difficult to mix.
Store the product in a dry environment. If clumping has occurred due to moisture, try to break up large lumps before mixing, though performance may be slightly affected. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use.
