Product Information

Full details

This 1kg powder pigment is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts looking to add durable, vibrant colour to cement, renders, mortars, and flooring. Its key benefit is providing consistent, fade-resistant colour that meets EN 12878: 2014 standards, ensuring long-lasting aesthetic appeal for interior and exterior projects. A potential consideration is the need for accurate measurement to achieve the desired shade, though intermixability offers customisation.

FAQs

How much pigment should I use?

The amount of pigment required depends on the desired colour intensity and the cementitious material being used. A general starting point is between 1% and 5% of the cement weight. Always conduct a small test batch to determine the optimal dosage for your project.

Yes, the colours are designed to be intermixable. This allows you to create custom shades and achieve precise colour matching.

Is this pigment suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, Bostik Cementone Powder Cement Colour is formulated for both interior and exterior applications and features lightfast and fade-resistant properties.

Will this pigment affect the strength of my concrete?

No, when used as directed, the pigment is engineered to disperse easily without affecting the mix performance or structural properties of the cementitious material.

What surfaces can I use this product on?

It is suitable for colouring cement, renders, mortars, flooring applications, sand/cement screeds, and granolithic floors.

Store the product in its original, tightly sealed packaging in a cool, dry place, away from moisture.

What standards does this pigment meet?

Troubleshooting

Colour is lighter than expected

Increase the amount of pigment used in the mix. Refer to recommended dosage guidelines or conduct a small test batch.

Pigment does not disperse easily

Confirm the pigment is being added to the *dry* mix. Ensure all components are thoroughly combined before adding water.
