Inorganic Metal Oxide in aqueous solution.

12 months from date of production if stored properly in original, unopened packaging, at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C.

Store at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C. Protect SikaColor® Flo from direct sunlight and freezing.

Frost: If frozen and/or if precipitation has occurred, SikaColor® Flo may be used after thawing slowly at room temperature and intensive mixing.

 SikaColor® Flo may be combined with many other Sika Concrete Admixtures.

Important: Always conduct trials before combining products in specific mixes and contact our Technical Service Department for information and advice about any specific combinations.

SikaColor® Flo should be agitated prior to use to insure uniformity.

For a zero-slump application, SikaColor® Flo is added just after the pre-wetted aggregate and before the cement addition. This allows the aggregate to distribute the colour uniformly, which will promote an even distribution of pigment particles on the surface of the cement crystals.

For ready mix applications, SikaColor® Flo may be added in front, during the batching or at the end of the batch cycle.

Product is available in numerous standard colours as indicated in the Colour Card using 1 % to 8 % loadings by weight of cement.

Dosing up to 10 % liquid colours are possible but do not improve the colour saturation normally.

Different shades of Portland Cement, Cement replacement, aggregates, consistency and finishing techniques create differences in the final concrete colour.
