Definitions
- the invention relates to methods of colouring cementitious building materials, such as concrete, and formulations for use in these methods.
- the invention relates to a method of colouring concrete used in floor levelling and repair.
- Cementitious building materials such as concrete are used in large volumes throughout the world. By varying the proportions of ingredients used in the cementitious premix, many types of concrete are available. These include floor levelling and repair products. Such products are used, for example, in preparing a floor prior to the laying of a covering such as carpet or vinyl. These products are designed to find their own levels when installed at a thickness of 3 mm or greater. Once hydrated and poured the cementitious mix hardens and sets rapidly so that it can be walked on within as little as two to three hours. It is often desired to improve the aesthetic qualities of building materials by introducing colour. To achieve this the surface of the building material may be either dyed or colour added during the forming of the material (referred to here as “integral colouring”).
- a first method involves washing the surface with an acidic solution containing a metal salt. Following development of the colour a neutralising agent, then a clear protective polymeric sealing coating are applied.
- a second method involves washing the surface with an acidic solution to roughen or etch the surface before colouring the surface with a polymer based stain or paint and finishing with a clear coating.
- a third method involves etching or grinding the surface before applying a cementitious overlay. The cementitious overlay is then stained with an acidic solution containing a metal salt.
- the integral colouring of concrete has been achieved by adding formulations of inorganic pigments such as iron oxide to the hydrated premix.
- inorganic pigments such as iron oxide
- a range of earth tones are thereby obtainable.
- Ingredients used in the cementitious premix such as those added to provide integral colour or the requisite “self-levelling” properties of floor levelling and repair products, must not adversely affect the durability and strength of the building material once formed.
- ingredients added to a cementitious premix to provide colour should not interfere with the function of additives included, for example, to provide “self-levelling” properties.
- inorganic pigments such as iron oxide can inhibit the performance of shrinkage-compensating additives used in floor levelling and repair products resulting in cracking.
- Many different formulations of pigments have been proposed for integral colouring of cementitious building materials, especially concrete.
- colouring materials deposited on iron oxide particles obtained by precipitation include carbon black, azo colouring materials, vat dyes (anthraquinoid and indigoid) and phthalocyanine colouring materials.
- the pigments thereby provided are proposed for use in colouring concrete, tile and brick.
- the publication of Bowen (1980) states that it is difficult to obtain a sufficiently thorough mixing of powders into a wet cement mix so as to achieve a homogenous colour throughout the mixture.
- the publication discloses stabilized thixotropic slurries for colouring concrete comprising pigment, at least one stabilizer, a dispersant and water.
- the publication of Krockert and Linde (1993) discloses a process for colouring building materials.
- the process uses inorganic pigments (iron oxides, titanium oxide) formulated as granules.
- the granules are prepared by spray-drying aqueous suspensions of 38 to 55% by weight of the inorganic pigments and 0.3 to 1.3% by weight of soluble salts.
- the granules are asserted to have at least satisfactory flow behaviour and rapid dispersibility in concrete.
- the publication of Kohler et al discloses a process for the preparation of iron oxide black pigment granules which are stable to handling.
- the process includes a step of tempering spray-dried granules of iron oxide black pigment in an indirectly heated rotary kiln at temperatures below 65° C. in an inert nitrogen atmosphere for approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
- the granules are asserted to have high strength, dispersibility and stability to oxidation.
- the publication of Will (1998) discusses how many inorganic pigments, such as metal oxides, do not disperse well in cementitious systems.
- the publication discloses a method for colouring cementitious systems using compacted inorganic granules.
- the compacted inorganic granules comprise an inorganic pigment and a dispersing agent.
- Johansen et al (1999) discloses an aqueous composition for colouring cement-based composition comprising water, pigment, a suspension enhancing agent and latex polymer solids.
- a mixture of predetermined amounts of a cement-based component and the aqueous composition is asserted to provide a cement-based composition of uniform and standardised colour that is capable of being consistently reproduced.
- compositions for colouring concrete discloses a composition for colouring concrete.
- the composition includes a stearic acid, salt or derivative as a hydrophobic efflorescence control agent.
- the composition also includes particulated polymers and co-polymers. The composition is asserted to improve durability of the coloured concrete.
- the publication of Noack and Herrmann (2004) discloses colouring pigment granulates.
- the granulates comprise granulated cores that do not contain binders, emulsifying agents, surface active agents, dispersing agents, or preservatives.
- the granulates cores are enclosed by an enveloping layer made of a material such as polyvinyl alcohol, that can be broken down.
- the absence of binders and other auxiliaries is asserted to ensure rapid disagglomeration once the shell enveloping material is broken down.
- compositions for colouring concrete when integrally or surface-shake applied discloses compositions for colouring concrete when integrally or surface-shake applied.
- the composition comprises a spray-dried styrene acrylic polymer encapsulated colourant and a second polymer for use in dispersing the encapsulated colourant.
- the standard of Anon (2010) prescribes that coloured concrete pigmented at a maximum dosage rate of 10% by weight of the cement shall have a 28-day compressive strength of not less than 90% and a water to cement ratio of not greater than 110% of that of the control.
- the standard further prescribes that when added to concrete at the maximum dosage rate, the pigment is to neither accelerate the initial or final set by more than one hour nor retard the initial or final set by more than one and a half hours, and the air content is not be changed by more than 1% as compared to the control.

- the product of spray-drying would not disperse when added to an aqueous slurry of concrete. This was attributed to a surface layer of sodium silicate not hydrating rapidly enough to release the primary particles of pigment.
- the formulation was spray-dried using the GEA Niro MOBILE MINORTM with an inlet temperature of 180° C., an out let temperature of 95° C. and a spindle speed of 15,000 rpm.
- the product of spray-drying was mixed at a rate of 3% (w/w) with a slurry of cement (1:2 (w/w) water-cement) comprising no aggregate. Hydration of the cementitious mix was found to be indefinitely retarded.
- the formulation was spray-dried using the Mini Spray Dryer B-290 (Buchi) with an inlet temperature of 180° C. and an outlet temperature of 105° C.
- the product of spray-drying was mixed at a rate of 4% (w/w) with a slurry of cement (1:2 (w/w) water-cement).
- Example 3 The colourants of Example 3, Example 4, Example 5 and Example 6 were evaluated for use in colouring concrete or mortar prepared using cement from three different sources (Golden Bay, Holcim and Dricon). The colourants were evaluated against their corresponding unformulated pigments (milled iron oxides) with (Example 4, Example 5 and Example 6) or without (Example 3) the addition of fumed silica. The colourants were evaluated for any adverse effects on the setting and hardening characteristics of the resulting cementitious building material calorimetry was used to evaluate early age hydration of the cementitious building material. Compressive strengths of 50 mm cubes of cement mortar was determined at 48 hours, 7 days and 28 days.
- FIG. 3 Golden Bay
- FIG. 4 Holcim
- FIG. 5 Density plots for coloured mortars prepared using the different sources of cement are presented in FIG. 3 (Golden Bay), FIG. 4 (Holcim) and FIG. 5 (Dricon).
- the absence of any significant variation between the heat flows measured confirms the compatibility between the colourants with the cementitious building material.
- FIG. 1 the effect on heat flows of the addition of a commonly used plasticizer (2% by weight of DC31) is shown in FIG. 1 .
- Colourants were added at a rate of 3% by weight to a slurry of cement (0.4 (w/w) water-cement) and the compressive strength of hardened blocks (50 ⁇ 50 ⁇ 50 mm) determined. Slurries were prepared using cement sourced from either Golden Bay or Holcim. The compressive strength determined for coloured hardened blocks prepared using these two sources of cement are presented in Table 2 (Golden Bay) and Table 3 (Dricon). Compressive strengths were also determined for coloured hardened blocks prepared by the addition of colourant at a rate of 3% by weight to a slurry of cement and sand (0.4 (w/w) water-cement and 1.5 (w/w) sand-cement). The compressive strengths determined for the coloured hardened blocks are presented in Table 4 (Golden Bay) and Table 5 (Dricon). The moderate reduction in strength (circa 10%) may be readily compensated for by addition of cement to the premix.
