How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This powder dye is added during the mixing stage of cement-based materials. After preparing dry ingredients, the powder is incorporated before water addition to ensure even colour distribution throughout the batch.

The coloured mix is then applied normally for bricklaying, pointing, rendering, or decorative concrete work, providing consistent colour across the finished application.

How to Use

1. Prepare the Mix: Measure the required amount of cement, sand, and water
2. Add the Powder: Slowly incorporate the powder into the dry mix for even distribution (use up to 3% of cement weight, adjusting for more intense colour)
3. Combine Thoroughly: Mix the dry ingredients well before adding water to help colour blend evenly
4. Apply as Normal: Use the coloured cement or mortar for your project

• Product FAQs

  Q: How long does it take for the powder mortar tone to dry?
  A: Drying time varies based on thickness and weather, but typically, mortar or concrete mixed with this product will take 24 to 48 hours to set and dry fully. Ensure good ventilation and dry conditions to speed up the process.
  Q: Can I use the mortar tone in cold weather?
  A: It is best to apply the powder in temperatures above 5°C. In cold conditions, the drying and setting process will slow down, affecting the final result. Make sure the mix is kept at a suitable temperature for optimal performance.
  Q: What’s the difference between Everbuild 208 Powder Mortar Tone and other cement dyes?
  A: Unlike many other dyes, Everbuild 208 is formulated with a fade-resistant, concentrated powder that provides even colour distribution without streaks. Its high-quality formula also prevents efflorescence and provides long-lasting results in both indoor and outdoor applications.
  Q: Is this powder mortar tone safe for use around plants or pets?
  A: While the product itself is not toxic once mixed, it is recommended that you avoid direct contact with plants or pets during the mixing process. Also, make sure the coloured mortar or concrete is fully cured before coming into contact with surrounding areas.
  Q: Can Everbuild 208 be used for decorative concrete projects?
  A: Yes, it’s perfect for decorative concrete applications. Whether you’re creating coloured pathways, garden features, or artistic surfaces, this powder offers vibrant, long-lasting results that improve your concrete’s appearance.
  Q: How do I adjust the colour intensity when using Everbuild 208 mortar tone?
  A: The intensity of the colour can be adjusted by altering the amount of powder added to the cement mixture. For deeper shades, use more of the product (up to 3% of the weight of the cement), while for lighter tones, reduce the quantity accordingly.
