Technical Data Sheet
PURCOLOR 6000
Art.-No. 4 01420 Efflorescence reducing and colour intensifying admixture
Areas of application: For the production of coloured garden and landscaping structures, such as e.g. • Paving blocks • Palisades • Plant rings • Kerbstones and edging stones • Pathways and slabs for terraces and other concrete of consistency classes F1 and F2 Properties: The hydrophobic nature of PURCOLOR-6000 reduces capillary absorption, which considerably reduces efflorescence. PURCOLOR-6000 increases the degree of compaction in the concrete, which consequently gives an even and closed surface texture. Technical Data: Raw material basis: Colour: Consistency: Density: Application temperature: Storage: Shelf life: Packaging: Water hazard class:

Product application: It is preferable to add PURCOLOR 6000 to the finished mix. Addition to the gauging water is also possible after testing. Adjustment to individual mixing circumstances is required on each occasion. Specific advice: • A performance test, in accordance with valid standards and guidelines, is always necessary before using in concrete. • PURCOLOR 6000 has a strong efflorescence reducing effect. • PURCOLOR 6000 should not be used in concrete production requiring external storage below 12° C after 24 hours. Its function may be reduced. In general do not store green concrete (especially coloured concrete or concrete goods) externally below 10° C for at least 48 hours. This will additionally facilitate the reduction in efflorescence. Control / approval: Concrete admixture in accordance with DIN EN 934-2:T9. Only contains substances given in EN 934-1:2008 Annex A1. Health & Safety regulations: Please observe a current valid EU Health & Safety Data Sheet.
Dosage (based on cement): Recommended dosage: 0.5 – 1.3% by weight. The required dosage quantity depends on the concrete recipe and the reactivity of the cement. It is to be determined following preliminary tests.
