Enhance your concrete, mortar, grout, or render with this red oxide pigment by adding it directly to pure cement. Achieve lighter hues by using smaller amounts of oxide. Always add the oxide by volume—not by weight—and base the quantity on the cement portion of your mix, excluding sand or aggregate. Please refer to the package for detailed instructions.

Specification and Features

• Durably binds within concrete for long-lasting colour
• Highly resistant to weathering and alkaline conditions
• Environmentally friendly and cost-effective

Applications and Usage

• Ideal for colouring concrete, mortar, grout, and render with rich red tones

Usage Tips

To achieve lighter shades, reduce the oxide dosage; to deepen colour intensity, increase up to a maximum of 10% by cement weight. Using more than 10% will not enhance the colour further. Remember to add oxide by volume relative to cement only, ignoring sand or aggregate quantities. Since colour results may vary, we recommend testing a small batch before large-scale application.

Sample preparation details: a 3:1 sand-to-cement ratio (by weight) was used with a 5% oxide dosage relative to cement weight. Cements tested included Boral Blue Circle Builders Cement and Boral Blue Circle Off White Cement, combined with fine sand.
