CONCRETE
The concrete mix design should satisfy the specific performance criteria as specified by the engineer.
Aggregates must be non-reactive.
Water content should be kept to a minimum.

PREPARATION
The mixing drum must be clean and free from all previous mix build up. It is important all cementitous components are consistently accurately weighed for colour uniformity. The source of all materials should remain consistent. Any changes to the mix design or raw material source will effect the final result.

NOTE:- To achieve colour uniformity from mix to mix, exact amounts of all ingredients per batch must be maintained. Additional water must not be added on site.

ADDING PICSTINT
The addition rate of PICSTINT is one 16kg unit per cubic metre of concrete mix.

The units should be added after 10 - 15% of the mix has been added to the mixer, evenly throughout the remainder of the batch. DO NOT ADD PICSTINT prior to addition of 10 - 15% of the total mix.

For on-site addition of PICSTINT allow 15 minutes mixing time at mixing speed until uniform colour has been achieved.

FINISHING
A variety of finishes are available from trowel or brush to textured and non-slip. Ensure appropriate finishing tools are available.

CURING
Cure only with PICS Low Solids Sealer (CM42). DO NOT cure using hessian, sand or plastic sheeting as colour uniformity will be effected.
