Extended Product Information

FAQs

How much powder should I use?

The amount of powder depends on the desired color depth. Refer to the product packaging for dosage guidelines. Start with a small amount and adjust as needed.

Can I use this with any type of cement?

Yes, Everbuild Powder Mortar Tone is designed for use with all types of cement-based products.

Does this product affect the strength of the mortar?

No, when used according to the instructions, the powder will not significantly affect the strength of the mortar. The plasticizer actually improves workability.

Is it safe to use?

Yes, but always wear appropriate PPE, including gloves and a dust mask, when handling the powder to avoid inhalation and skin contact.

How long will the color last?

The pigments used are light-fast, which means the color is designed to be permanent and resist fading over time.

Can I use it on existing mortar?

The product is designed to be mixed into the mortar during the initial mixing process. Applying it to existing mortar is not recommended.

Where should I store the product?

Store the product in a dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent moisture from affecting the powder.

What is the shelf life of the powder?

When stored correctly, the powder has a long shelf life. Refer to the packaging for specific expiry information.

Troubleshooting

Inconsistent color across the batch.

Ensure thorough mixing of the powder into the mortar. Mix for a longer period and ensure the powder is evenly dispersed.

Color is too light or too dark.

Adjust the amount of powder used to achieve the desired color depth. Start with a smaller amount and add more gradually until the desired shade is reached.

Efflorescence appears on the surface.

Ensure the mortar mix is properly prepared with the correct water-cement ratio. Efflorescence can occur due to excess water or improper curing. The chloride-free formula helps to reduce this.
