“THE ‘IN’CONCRETE COLORANT”

Green Umbrella® ColorPac™ integral colors are natural iron-oxide pigments that are permanent and UV stable—engineered to establish performance with even color appearance, stability, and durability in all @EarlyAgeconcrete placements. ColorPac™ is packaged with the concrete producer in mind in water-soluble bags.  When used as an alternative to surface-applied colorants in architectural concrete floors applications saves downtime & labor during construction. Not only is ColorPac™ at an equal or lower cost, but expensive masking and overspray damage to finishes is eliminated. Life-cycle @occupany™ is much greater as a “In concrete” component compared to unpredictable surface colorants. Our color palette extends to over 30 colors with varying intensity options. It is recommended to use a wearguard to enhance surface color and protect surface.  Green Umbrella® iron-oxide pigments are natural and made in the U.S.A., providing a solution for those concerned about conventional concrete colorants and environmental impact. ColorPac is fast becoming the “in” concrete for design professionals.

Materials: Green Umbrella™ ColorPac colors do not contain fillers or extenders. All pigments are permanent, light-fast, inert and stable to atmospheric conditions. ColorPac colors comply with ASTM C979, Pigments for Integrally Colored Concrete.  Integral colors are not designed for dust-on application.
Packaging: Green Umbrella™ColorPac is packaged in pre-measured, per cubic yard disintegrating bags.  ColorPac may be tossed into mixer without opening or pouring.  The mixing action disintegrates the bag allowing the pigment to disperse throughout the mix.  Select colors are available in standard 50 lb. paper bags 2000 lb. super sacs, and bulk tanker loads. Quality is assured by a batch label system that tracks the product through production to the warehouse and to your job site. Standard packaging is based on a 5 sack mix (3000psi) per cubic yard.
