Integral Color & Dye

I
ntegral color, in liquid or powder form, can be a low-maintenance option for creating natural-looking decorative concrete
surfaces. By adding color before the concrete is poured, contractors can expect evenly dispersed pigment. Once the sur-
face has hardened, the color will not wear off or chip. Concrete dye also provides lasting color by penetrating deep into
the porous surface. Manufacturers have formulated long-lasting colors that resist the effects of UV rays, chemicals, and harsh
weather conditions. The following companies offer a selection of coloring products for indoor and outdoor applications. Visit
