It is particularly effective for outdoor projects requiring consistent colour and weather resistance, including paving slabs and ornamental concrete structures.

• Patio and Pathway Finishing: Adds uniform black colour to paving and slabs.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This product is used during the dry mix preparation stage of cement work. It is added to the dry sand and cement before water is introduced, ensuring even colour distribution throughout the mix.

Following the correct mixing procedure – adding the powder to dry materials first, then gradually incorporating water – helps achieve consistent results. Preparing a small test batch beforehand allows verification of the final shade before full application.

How to Use

1. Prepare Dry Mix: Combine the powder evenly with dry sand and cement before adding water, using a mixing bucket for best results.
2. Measure Precisely: Always weigh pigment and cement accurately to maintain consistent colour results.
3. Initial Testing: Prepare a small test batch first to confirm the desired shade.
4. Application: Add water gradually and mix thoroughly until an even colour is achieved. Apply evenly.
5. Drying and Final Colour: Allow adequate drying time; note the colour may appear lighter once dry.
