Abstract:
Minimizing Color Variations in Decorative Concrete: We produce and deliver integrally colored concrete for decorative concrete contractors and need to get as uniform a color as possible in each batch while also minimizing any batch-to-batch color variation. What is the best way to achieve these goals?
Effects of Coloring Pigments on Setting Time and Air Content: Does the ASTM standard for color pigments include any information that a contractor should be aware of, or is it mainly of interest to pigment manufacturers and concrete producers?
