Protech Oxicrom
Ferrous oxides have been used since ancient times for colouring paints. The main ferrous minerals from which the pigments are obtained are, of course, iron and its derivatives and compounds. The main colours of these pigments are dark gray/black in relation to ferrous oxide derivatives, and classic rusty red in relation to ferric oxide derivatives. Other more complex compounds may have colourings of yellow, orange, red and brown.
Fields of application
Protech Oxicrom is ideal for the pigmentation of concrete for architectural and industrial floorings of washed gravel, shotcrete and exposed stone tiling, as well for the formulation of dyes and paints.
Allowed supports
Plasters
Concrete
Cement-based or lime-based mortars
Mode of use
The use of Protech Oxicrom ferrous oxide compounds is extremely simple: in the case of concrete, cements, mortars, plasters and so on, the pigment must be gradually and uniformly added to the mixer and mixed until a homogeneously coloured mixture is obtained. The indicative dosage of approximately 3-10% of the weight of the mixture to be pigmented should be varied according to the desired colour intensity.
Application methods
To be added to other components
Consumption
Add from 1 to 10% of Protech Oxicrom on the weight of the binder present in the mixture to the desired colour intensity.
