Davis Colors and our parent company Rockwood Pigments make thousands of different colored pigments: synthetic red, yellow, orange, brown and black iron oxides, carbon blacks, cobalt blues, and chromium oxide greens. We offer standard colors and custom powder blends. The powder pigments are packaged in 50 lb. bags and in bulk sacks. Our Mix-Ready® line offers smaller packaging options. Many of our pigments are made from recycled material. In fact, sixty percent of the iron oxide pigment’s content is made from recycled materials.

Granufin®
|
Granufin® free-flowing pigments and the Granumat® concrete color metering system are so innovative, they were granted U.S. patent 4,946,505. Granufin® is the only pigment granule with a binding ingredient that stays intact during transport and metering and then enhances color development when mixed into concrete.

Hydrotint®
|
Aqueous pigment dispersions are nothing new at Davis Colors™. In fact, we have been formulating liquid-based pigments since 1960 for paint and coating manufacturers. But we waited until now to introduce Hydrotint®, our new aqueous pigment dispersions especially formulated for colored concrete. That's because Davis Colors™ is committed to "Setting the Standard in Concrete Colors™". A liquid color had to prove itself as reliable and effective as our dry pigments before we could put the Davis Colors™ name on it..

Mix-Ready®
|
Mix-Ready® is the original disintegrating bag for concrete colors and has been used successfully in millions of yards of concrete. We have provided a mix rate calculator that will tell you how much pigment needs to be added to concrete to produce your desired color. We have also provided a usage cost calculator to help you discover how the addition of Davis Colors pigments will impact your bottom line. Also available is our architect's guide-spec for colored cast-in-place concrete.

W-1000
|
W-1000 is a water-base modified acrylic co-polymer emulsion that doubles as a membrane forming curing compound and a long-lasting sealer, especially formulated for architectural applications. W-1000 quickly dries to a semi-gloss, non-yellowing and durable barrier against moisture, oil and most stains. W-1000 is a milky white liquid that sprays on blue and dries clear on any horizontal concrete surface. Its non-clouding formula makes it especially suitable for use on architectural, colored, sand blasted or exposed aggregate concrete.

Color Seal II™
|
Color Seal II™ is a membrane forming acrylic co-polymer sealer which is sprayed-on fresh colored concrete as a curing compound. It is used instead of water curing or plastic curing sheets which can discolor the slab. Color Seal II™ Keeps water in the slab while it cures which helps prevent cracking and optimizes final hardness. It also dust proofs and seals the surface to protect against water damage and most stains. It is semi-transparent and tinted in 40 different shades to match our color card for integrally colored concrete.
