Mixing:

The drum must be cleaned. Do not use reclaimed slurry water or reclaimed aggregates.
Add approximately two-thirds of the mix water and one-half of the aggregates to the drum, then add color pigment at full charging speed. Add the balance of the ingredients (water, aggregates, cement and admixtures) and mix at a full charging speed for a minimum of 5 minutes (60 revolutions) when using Solomon Color ColorFlo liquid color, or 10 minutes when using dry pigment powder or granules (100 revolutions), before pouring concrete (6.13-7.36 m2/L).
When using small or smooth rounded aggregates, do not add the bag to the truck. Add only the color pigment by opening the bag and pouring all color into the truck.
Mixer should be loaded to a minimum of 40% capacity to ensure good color dispersion.
Be sure to use the same mix design and maintain consistent water-to-cement ratio throughout the jab. The use of plasticizers, water reducers and air entraining products designed for colored concrete production are acceptable. Solomon Colors strongly recommends the use of test slab to determine final color outcome.
After pour has begun, adding water to the load to improve workability often causes color variation.
When using Solomon Colors pigments packaged in repulpable bags, slit the bag along the top dotted line, and completely remove and discard the top portion of the bag. Following these guidelines will destroy the paper bag and provide the best dispersion of the pigment.

Check the compatibility of the mix design (plasticizers, water reducers and air entraining products) with the addition of color by pouring a test slab to confirm the preferred results.
