Recommended Addition and Mixing Time:

Ribbon Mixer

1. Load aggregate, and add 75 - 85% of total water.

Mix for a minimum of 40 seconds

• Proper mixing allows aggregates (especially dry, high-absorption ones) to saturate before adding cement.

2. Add granular pigment and mix for a minimum of 40 seconds

• Pigments are most effective when ground up by the aggregates and fully dispersed in the mix.

3. Load cementitious materials

• To avoid clumping, we recommend cement be added over several seconds, and not dumped in one large pile (mix for minImum 40 seconds).

4. Add final water and admixture

• Admixture can be added during or after final water.

• Note: allow the cement to mix for minimum of 40 seconds before adding admixture.

5. Final mix

• Allow ample final mix time: minimum of 2 minutes, optimial 3 minutes, after all ingredients added including final water.

6. Do no over mix. Mix no more than 5 minutes after final water is added to prevent mix from overheating.

Pan Mixer

1. Load aggregate, and add 75-85% of total water

Mix for a minimum of 30 seconds.

• Proper mixing allows aggregates (especially dry, high-absorption ones) to saturate before adding cement.

2 Add granular pigment and mix for a minimum of 40 seconds

• Pigments are most effective when ground up by the aggregates and fully dispersed in the mix.

3 Load cementitious materials

• To avoid clumping, we recommend cement be added over several seconds, and not dumped in one large pile (mix for minImum 30 seconds).

4. Add final water and admixture

• Admixture can be added during or after final water.

• Note: allow the cement to mix for minimum of 30 seconds before adding admixture.

5. Final mix

Allow ample final mix time: minimum of 45 seconds, one (1) minute optimal, after all ingredients added including final water.

6. Do not over mix. Mix no more than 3 minutes after final water is added to prevent mix from overheating.
