Mixing ClaudiCemento pigments with ClaudiCemento microcement mortar:

READY MIX MICROCEMENT 

Mixing the pigment 15kg microcement bucket = entire bottle of READY MIX pigment.

Mixing the pigment with less or more than 15kg; How to calculate how much pigment do you need per 1 kg of microcement:

Weight of the PIGMENT is always written on a bottle.

Calculation is as follows:

Weight of the pigment ( as written on the bottle ) divided by 20 = amount of pigment  you need per 1 kg of microcement.

Example:

One bottle of Off – White pigment is 600gr.

600gr / 20 = 30gr

30 gr = the amount of pigment you need per 1 kg of microcement.

If you are using 15kg of microcement then you multiply the amount of pigment you need per 1 kg of microcement x 15

30gr x 15 = 450 gr

Note:

• To achieve lighter shade, add less of the pigment recommended dose.
• Using Microcement BASE as a finishing coat – due to the thick grain of Microcement BASE, the colour on microcement BASE always comes out darker. If you are using microcement base as a finishing coat and you wish to achieve a colour as on the microcement DECK samples then add 30% less of the pigment recommended dose.

Recommendations:

• Measured quantity of the pigment needs to be poured into a clean container – To get precise measuring, the pigment should be weighted on electronic scale measuring quantities between 0.1gr -500 gr.
• Pour the measured quantity of the pigment into a container, add a small amount of water to it to create a Pigment Mix.
• Pour a bit of water in the container where measured pigment was in, shake it and add it to the Pigment Mix to ensure that all pigment was used.
• Add the Pigment Mix to the microcement mortar, mix it throughout to avoid uneven colouring of the microcement mortar, then continue to the next step of installation.
