Architectural, Decorative and Cast-In-Place Concrete

Architectural, Decorative and Cast-In-Place Concrete

Davis Colors are made with pure concentrated pigments especially processed for mixing into portland cement concrete. They are lightfast, alkali-resistant, weather-resistant, and formulated to give long-lasting appeal to concrete. Davis Colors give concrete the added design dimension of color.

Basic Use: Use Davis Colors to beautify cast-in-place concrete buildings, structures and pavements. Davis Colors can also be used in precast and tilt-up concrete, concrete masonry units and unit pavers, masonry mortar, shotcrete, plaster, and other concrete products.

Composition: Davis Colors are color admixtures made from metal or mineral oxides either recycled from iron or refined from the earth. Most Davis Colors are made from iron oxide, an inert and environmentally safe material. (Davis Colors 807 and 8084 are concentrated carbon black, treated in a proprietary process for extra tint strength and dispersability. They are economical alternatives where concrete is not air-entrained and is sealed against water damage.)

Davis Colors are manufactured to exact quality control standards to maintain uniformity of color from bag-to-bag and year-to-year. They are mechanically milled to microscopic particle size to obtain high tinting strength.

Limitations: Do not use with admixtures containing calcium chloride. Davis Colors are for mix-in use only; do not sprinkle or dust onto concrete surfaces.

Applicable Standards: Davis Colors meet or exceed the following criteria for the alkali resistance, stability, and lightfastness of pigments and for their compatibility with concrete:

* ASTM C 979-82 Pigments for Integrally Colored Concrete.
* BS 1014 Pigments for Portland Cement and Portland Cement Products.
* DIN 53 237 Pigments for Colouration of Cement and Lime Products.

Colors: Davis Colors are available in a wide spectrum of colors. There are premium colors which are bold and intense, standard hues which add less than a dollar per square foot, and subtle shades for any budget. In addition, colors can be custom blended to meet special design requirements.
