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 @EarlyAge™ concrete placements. ColorPac is packaged with the concrete producer in mind in water-soluble bags. Saves downtime and labor during construction when used as an alternative to surface-applied colorants in architectural concrete floor applications. Not only is ColorPac at an equal or lower cost, but expensive masking and overspray damage to finishes is eliminated. Lifecycle @Occupancy™ is a superior ‘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 wear-guard to enhance the color and protect the 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.

Use as an alternative to topically applied color and reduce downtime and labor. Lifecycle @Occupancy™ is much greater being an “in” the concrete component compared to unpredictable near-surface colorants. Our color palette extends to over 30 colors with varying intensity options. Green Umbrella iron-oxide pigments are natural and made in the U.S.A., providing a solution for those concerned about conventional concrete colorants’ environmental impact.

Materials: Green Umbrella® ColorPac™ colors do not contain fillers or extenders. All pigments are permanent, lightfast, inert, and stable to atmospheric conditions. ColorPac colors comply with ASTM C979, Standard Specification for Pigments for Integrally Colored Concrete. Integral colors are not designed for dust-on applications.
Packaging: Green Umbrella® ColorPac™ is packaged in pre-measured disintegrating bags. It may be tossed into the 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, 2,000 lb. super sacks, and bulk tanker loads. A batch label system ensures quality by tracking the product through production to the warehouse and your job site. Standard packaging is based on a 5-sack mix (3,000 psi) per cubic yard.
