• Patio and Path Construction: Achieves an even colour finish in paving slabs and concrete pathways.
• Mortar Joints and Pointing: Enhances visual appeal and uniformity in brick or stone pointing and is used with a pointing trowel for accurate application.
• Rendering and Plastering: Ideal for colouring external walls and decorative renders uniformly.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This dye is used during the mixing stage of cement-based work. It is added to the gauging water before combining with cement and sand, ensuring even colour distribution throughout the entire batch.

The colour becomes fully apparent after the material has dried completely, making it part of the finishing process where visual consistency is important across different work sections or batches.

  Q: What does cement dye do?
  A: Cement dye colours mortar, concrete, and rendering mixtures. It evenly disperses to create consistent shades, adding visual appeal and uniformity to finished surfaces.
  Q: Will the colour fade over time?
  A: No, the pigments used are resistant to fading, so the colour remains stable over extended periods, even with outdoor exposure.
  Q: Can cement dye affect the mortar setting time?
  A: This dye has no impact on drying or setting times, allowing mortar and concrete to cure naturally at their standard rates.
  Q: How much dye is needed per mix?
  A: A maximum dose of 300ml per 10kg of mortar achieves deep black. Adjust quantities lower to produce shades ranging from mid-grey to dark grey.
  Q: Can the dye be mixed with other concrete additives?
  A: Yes, it is compatible with common concrete additives such as plasticisers, waterproofers, frost-proofers, and bonding agents.
