Hammer Red Oxide Cement Pigment, 1kg Powder

Hammer Cement Pigment

The Hammer Red Oxide is a premium-grade synthetic iron oxide colorant developed for consistent tinting of cementitious mixtures and masonry applications. This fine powder provides high opacity and excellent dispersion when mixed with grey or white cement. It withstands harsh environmental conditions without significant fading.

Built for the Job

Contractors use this pigment to achieve uniform color across large surface areas such as driveways, walkways, and industrial floors. It integrates directly into the wet mix to ensure the color remains permanent throughout the entire depth of the material. Site supervisors rely on this additive for its predictability in large-scale pours. The synthetic nature of the iron oxide ensures that batch-to-batch variation remains minimal compared to natural earth pigments. It is compatible with most concrete admixtures without affecting the setting time or structural integrity of the mix.

• Coloring internal and external floor screeds and granolithic finishes.

• Pigmenting pre-cast concrete products like paving blocks and kerbstones.

• Tinting mortar for decorative brickwork and masonry joints.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Maintain a consistent water-to-cement ratio throughout the project to avoid color variations between batches.

• Always perform a dry mix with the cement and aggregates before adding water to ensure even distribution.

• When calculating quantities, a standard guideline is 3kg to 5kg of pigment for every 50kg bag of cement.

• Always weigh the pigment rather than using volume-based measurements to maintain consistency across different batches.

• Wear a dust mask and gloves during handling to avoid inhalation of fine particles and skin staining.
