Product Description

Basic Use
DCS Mortar Colors are all pure mineral pigments designed to be used specifically in mortar, whether it be portland cement and lime, or masonry cements. DCS Mortar Colors use is for integral coloring mortars.

Composition and Materials
DCS Mortar Colors are composed of finely milled 95-99% minus 325 mesh inorganic synthetic and natural iron oxides. Depending upon the color, different combinations of natural yellow, red, brown and black iron oxides, mineral blacks and carbons are blended with synthetic red, yellow, and black iron oxides, and chromium oxide greens. The natural iron oxides are dried, pulverized and classified from mineral earth iron oxides (in a range of 50-80% iron oxide).
The synthetic iron oxides are manufactured by different methods of calcination and precipitation of iron solutions or oxides under carefully controlled conditions. These processes produce roughly 93-99% pure iron oxides. DCS synthetic and natural inorganic iron oxides are inert, stable to all atmospheric conditions, ultra violet rays, alkalis and normal acid conditions. They are sunfast, limeproof and absolutely free of any water soluble fillers.
Packaging: DCS Mortar Colors are packaged in 50 pound bags or in batch sized bags as needed.

Color Range
DCS Mortar Colors are available in standard colors. However, by altering the percentage of color added to the cement, the potential color shades are virtually unlimited. In addition, the color development and matching services of the DCS Color Lab offer laboratory controlled custom blended colors to meet your own special color requirements.
