• Adjusting the shade of cement-based tile grouts to match specific design needs.
• Enhancing the appearance of concrete surfaces with consistent colour depth.
• Use a pointing trowel for neat finishing when creating coloured pointing mortars.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This colourant is added during the mixing stage of cement-based materials. It is incorporated into the mix when water is being added, ensuring even distribution before application begins.

The colour becomes an integral part of the material during mixing, allowing for consistent application across the project area. Proper mixing at this stage determines the final colour uniformity.

How to Use

1. Preparation: Ensure all tools, including a suitable mixing bucket, and surfaces are clean and ready for mixing.
2. Mixing: Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Add the colourant directly into the cement mix during the water addition stage. Adjust quantities to achieve the desired shade.
3. Blending: Mix consistently to ensure even pigment distribution throughout the material.
4. Application: Apply the coloured material as required, ensuring smooth and even coverage.
5. Drying: Allow the cement-based product to cure fully for maximum durability and adherence of the pigment.

Storage and Maintenance Tips

• Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain optimal performance.
• Seal the bottle tightly after each use to prevent contamination or evaporation.
• Clean any spills immediately to avoid staining surrounding surfaces.
