How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This cement dye is used during the mixing stage of cement-based materials. It is added to gauging water before combining with cement and sand, becoming an integral part of the mortar or concrete mixture.

The colouration process occurs before application, ensuring the tint is distributed throughout the material. This approach allows for consistent results across the entire project when multiple batches are required.

How to Use

1. Preparation:
   • Clean and dry surfaces, removing dust, grease, or loose material before application.
2. Mixing the Dye:
   • Shake the bottle thoroughly.
   • Add dye to gauging water, mixing evenly.
3. Mixing with Cement:
   • Combine coloured water gradually with cement and sand, to give a consistent distribution.
4. Application:
   • Apply mixture promptly to avoid uneven colouring caused by premature setting.
5. Drying and Curing:
   • Allow adequate drying time; the final shade appears lighter when fully cured.

Storage and Maintenance

• Store upright in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight or freezing conditions.
• Securely seal the bottle after use to prevent evaporation or contamination.
• Clean mixing tools immediately after use to avoid staining and build-up.
