Product Description
Basic Use
DCS Ready Mixed Concrete Colors
are all pure mineral pigments designed to be used specifically
in cementitious
materials. DCS Ready Mixed Concrete Colors can be used
for integral coloring of concrete block, concrete floors,
walks,
patios, driveways, concrete pavers, vertical precast,
and poured in place concrete construction.
Composition and Materials
DCS Ready Mixed Concrete 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, and mineral blacks 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 Ready Mixed Concrete Colors are packaged
in 50 pound bags or in batch sized bags as needed.
