Full details

This Bostik Cementone No1 Powder Cement Colour in Russet Brown is designed for builders, DIY enthusiasts, and tradespeople looking to add durable, consistent color to concrete, mortar, render, and screeds for both interior and exterior projects. Its key benefit is providing lightfast, fade-resistant pigmentation that integrates easily without affecting mix performance. A minor caveat is that achieving custom shades requires careful intermixing with other available colors.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the recommended dosage for the cement colour?

The exact dosage depends on the desired color intensity and the type of cementitious material. It's recommended to consult the product packaging or perform test batches to determine the optimal ratio for your specific application.

Can I mix this color with other Cementone colors?

Yes, the Cementone No1 Powder Cement Colour range is intermixable. This allows you to create custom shades by combining different colors.

Does this powder affect the strength of my concrete or mortar?

No, the product is specifically engineered so that the pigment dispersion does not compromise the structural performance of the cement, mortar, or render mix.

Is this product suitable for exposed exterior applications?

Yes, the pigments conform to EN 12878:2014 standards, making the color lightfast and fade-resistant, suitable for interior and exterior use.

How should I store the Cementone No1 Powder Cement Colour?

Store the powder in a cool, dry place in its original, tightly sealed packaging to prevent moisture absorption and maintain its quality.

What surfaces can I use this product on?

It is ideal for cement, renders, mortars, sand/cement screeds, and granolithic flooring applications.

How much does one 1kg bag cover?

The coverage depends on the mix ratio and desired color depth. A 1kg bag is typically used to pigment a significant batch of cementitious material, but specific coverage per batch size should be determined through testing.

Troubleshooting

Uneven color distribution

Ensure the powder is thoroughly mixed with the dry ingredients *before* adding water. Double-check the dry mixing stage for uniformity.

Color is lighter or darker than expected

Adjust the amount of pigment added to the mix. Refer to manufacturer guidelines or perform small test batches to achieve the desired shade. Ensure accurate weighing of the pigment.

Powder not dispersing well

Ensure the powder is fresh and has not been exposed to moisture. Mix thoroughly using mechanical means if necessary for larger batches.

Color fades over time

While the product is designed to be lightfast, extreme environmental conditions or incorrect application might affect color. Ensure proper curing of the cementitious material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Determine the required amount of Cementone No1 Powder Cement Colour based on the desired color intensity and the total weight of your dry mix (cement, sand, aggregate).

Thoroughly mix the dry components to ensure even distribution of the pigment.
Add water according to your standard mix design and mix thoroughly to achieve the final consistency.

Care:
