Colorants & Additives help you customize and enhance concrete, cement, and masonry projects with better looks, performance, and durability. Find integral pigments, surface dyes, and stains that deliver rich, UV-stable color for driveways, patios, floors, countertops, and pavers. Choose from iron oxide powders, liquid dispersions, and concrete dyes designed for consistent dispersion, fade resistance, and easy batching.

Beyond color, masonry additives tune mix behavior and finished strength. Water reducers and plasticizers improve workability without extra water, yielding denser surfaces and higher early strength. Accelerators speed set in cold weather; retarders extend workable time in heat or on large placements. Air-entraining agents boost freeze-thaw durability, while fibers help control shrinkage cracking. Bonding agents, waterproofing admixtures, and efflorescence controllers raise adhesion, moisture resistance, and appearance over time.

Shop by cement type, pigment load, and admixture classification to match project goals. Verify dosage rates, color charts, and compatibility notes; test a small batch or sample panel to confirm results. Keep dosages consistent by weighing materials, measuring water, and mixing thoroughly for uniform color. For repairs, use color-matched patch kits and polymer-modified mixes that blend with existing surfaces.

Application tips:
- Add integral color to the mix water or directly to the drum before aggregates for even dispersion.
- Use release agents and color hardeners for stamped concrete with crisp contrast.
- Seal colored work with a compatible, breathable sealer to protect tone and reduce staining.

Plan for site conditions: accelerators for cold mornings, retarders for hot afternoons, and shade or wind breaks to control evaporation. Store pigments dry with lids tight; protect liquids from freezing. Wear gloves, goggles, and a dust mask, and review SDS guidelines. With the right colorants and admixtures, your concrete delivers lasting color, smoother placement, and performance that stands up to weather and wear. Get pro results on projects big and small.
