Used for coloring and hardening freshly placed concrete flatwork to produce an aesthetically pleasing pavement with a surface that is substantially harder and more wear resistant than regular concrete. This coloring method can be utilized for concrete flatwork applications (salt finishes, stamped finishes, broom finishes, rotary finishes, etc.) Extensive quality control measures insure uniformity of color and virtually eliminate color drifts. It is a blend of specially selected and graded hard aggregates, architectural cements, plasticizers and synthetic oxide pigments, produces a brilliant, streak-free, non fading, wear resistant surface. Application : Color Hardener should not be mixed with other chemicals or altered in any way. Basic application is as follows: Estimate material and equipment needs before work begins. After concrete has been placed and screeded with a straight edge, a nonmetallic bullfloat should be used to “open” the concrete surface. A metal float may prematurely seal the concrete surface. Allow initial “bleed” water to surface and evaporate before applying the color hardener. Float the concrete slab open, keeping float blades flat to prevent “blistering.” Evenly distribute ⅔ of the color hardener to the prescribed area. Allow enough time for the color hardener to absorb moisture from the concrete. Proper absorption will be evident by an evenly dark color. Work the color hardener into the concrete slab surface in a consistent manner with a nonmetallic float. Do not add water to the concrete surface. Evenly distribute the remaining color hardener to the prescribed area. Allow enough time for the hardener to absorb moisture from the concrete. Work the remaining hardener into the concrete slab surface in a consistent manner with a nonmetallic float. Do not add water to the concrete surface. If no stamp pattern is required, begin finishing as soon as possible. The concrete should have no sheen and no water at the surface. If a stamp pattern is required, evenly distribute color release to the prescribed area. Use stamping tools in a consistent manner with even pressure to create the pattern in the concrete surface. Coverage : Coverage requirements vary according to intended use and color. Minimum coverage is one 60 lb. pail/100 ft². Dark and Medium Colors : 60–80 lbs./100 ft² minimum Medium and Light Colors : 70–90 lbs./100 ft² minimum Light Colors and White : 80–120 lbs./100 ft² minimum Color Release Powder Description : A dry blend of chemical powders and color pigments designed for use in the imprinting process to allow the clean release of texturing tools from the concrete surface. It also adds color variation to the textured surface, providing an attractive two-color look that is part of most stamped concrete installations. It provides excellent release for texturing tools. Color variation for textured concrete surfaces. Application : Release Powder is hand broadcast evenly to the entire surface of freshly placed concrete when the concrete reaches the proper set for imprinting. It should remain in a dry state on the concrete and should not be worked into the surface, providing an attractive two-color look that is part of most stamped concrete installations. Coverage : 800–1000 ft² per 30 lb. pail. Coverage rates vary with application technique, wind conditions and texture of the concrete prior to application.
