The right pigment type determines the success of your end product
Fine cement-, lime-bound as well as polymer-modified building materials in the application field of mortars, plasters and fillers now have increasingly complex formulations. It can be observed that the originally established three-substance mixture of mortar with its typical basic components of water, cement and sand has long since developed at least into a five-substance system with additionally included additives and admixtures. Such systems require careful matching of present ingredients present to ensure the desired processing properties and optimum setting behavior of the material, while unwanted, material interactions must be prevented during the application of the material.
Particularly when such complex products are to be colour-enhanced by colour pigments or pigment preparations, the matching of the pigment required for this purpose to the often very finely divided component mixture is also of decisive importance for the appearance in the final state.
