COLOR ACCENTS INSTEAD OF GRAY DREARINESS

Gray is the predominant color in the relatively young field of 3D printed concrete applications. What is often overlooked is that colorful construction projects can be easily realized by using inorganic pigments. For the reliable coloration of 3D printed concrete, Bayferrox pigments from LANXESS are the perfect choice.

  • Over 100 color shades are available in black, red, yellow, brown and green
  • The color of the pigments is weather stable and does not fade over time
  • Our pigments are certified for safe use in both reinforced and non-reinforced concrete

Benefit from our pigment expertise

When developing colored 3D printed concrete projects, sound pigment  advice is a valuable aid. Whether the concrete in its cured state has the  desired color shade depends not only on the quality and mixture of the color pigments, but also on the application itself. The type of cement used has an influence on the color shade and conversely the reactions of the pigments with any concrete additives must also be considered.
This process requires know-how about the interaction between concrete technology and color pigments. Here, our advisors can provide you with deep-founded and expert technical advice, bringing the benefit of decades of experience to the new field of 3D printing.

Color optimization in the application technology laboratory at LANXESS’s site in Krefeld-Uerdingen. The lattice-like precast concrete element made from ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is colored yellow using Bayferrox pigments. Tests prove that the strength of the meshed concrete structure is unaffected by the pigmentation.Lanxess AG
