Technical Data

Performance Properties
DCS Mortar Colors are alkali resistant, water insoluble, inert, light resistant, inorganic, and limeproof.

Physical Properties
Depending upon the DCS Color Index Name and Number, the fineness of each ranges from 95-99% minus 325 mesh.

General Formula
Fe2O3

pH
6.5 to 8.5

Limitations
To avoid strength reductions do not use more color than 10% of the total weight of cementitious material used. Since the 10% level is also reaching the point of saturation for gaining increased color strength, it is prudent to use no more than the 10% level of color concentration.
