Nitoflor PU Colour Pigment: Technical Details and Specifications

Product Overview

Nitoflor PU Colour Pigment is a specialized colorant component designed to achieve uniform color in polyurethane cement flooring systems. This pigment is an essential additive used to supply both Nitoflor PU600 and Nitoflor PU200 as colored finishes, enabling customization of industrial floor aesthetics while maintaining performance characteristics.

Available Formats and Sizes

The Nitoflor PU Colour Pigment is supplied in two convenient sizes to accommodate different project scales:

• 300g (0.3kg) - Suitable for smaller applications and the 18.1kg Nitoflor PU200 kit
• 1.2kg - Available for larger projects utilizing the 72.4kg Nitoflor PU600 kit

Color Range

Nitoflor PU Colour Pigments are available in an extensive selection of color options, including:

• Pipeline Grey (N43) - Product code FC605227-0.3KG (300g) or FC605227-1.2KG (1.2kg)
• Curtain Call - Product code FC605228-0.3KG (300g) or FC605228-1.2KG (1.2kg)
• Jade (G21) - Product code FC605225-0.3KG (300g) or FC605225-1.2KG (1.2kg)
• Red Oxide (R63) - Product code FC605226-0.3KG (300g) or FC605226-1.2KG (1.2kg)
• Bright Blue (B23) - Product code FC605229-0.3KG (300g) or FC605229-1.2KG (1.2kg)
• Oatmeal (Y54) - Product code FC605230-0.3KG (300g)
• Sunflower (Y15) - Product code FC605231-0.3KG (300g)

Application and Mixing Specifications

Integration with Nitoflor PU600

When using the 18.1kg Nitoflor PU600 kit, the mixing procedure involves:

1. Shake Nitoflor PU600/PU200 Part A Base (2.6kg) to redisperse any settlement
2. Add the 300g Nitoflor PU Colour Pigment to the Part A Base
3. Mix using a heavy-duty mixer fitted with a helical mixer head until uniform colour is achieved
4. Add the hardener and fillers according to specification

For the larger 72.4kg kit, a 1.2kg Nitoflor PU Colour Pigment is utilized following the same color integration principle.

Integration with Nitoflor PU200

Similarly, when applying Nitoflor PU200 as a top coat:

1. Stir Nitoflor PU600/PU200 Part A Base (2.6kg) to redisperse settlement
2. Pour the base into a suitable container and add Nitoflor PU200 Part C Fillers
3. Add one 300g Nitoflor PU Colour Pigment and continue mixing until uniform color is achieved
4. Add Nitoflor PU600/PU200 Part B Hardener (2.8kg) and mix for a further 2 minutes

Light Reflectance Values (LRV)

The Light Reflectance Values for various Nitoflor PU200 color variants, measured according to BS 8493:2008, are:

Important Limitations

Color Fastness: Nitoflor PU600 and Nitoflor PU200 are not color fast and may exhibit a yellowing effect over time. Color change depends on UV light and heat levels present, and the rate of change cannot be predicted. This effect is more noticeable in light colors and blues but does not compromise the product's performance or chemical resistance.

Batch Number Management

To ensure uniform color throughout an application area, use only components with identical batch numbers in the same application area, or contact Fosroc for specific advice on color matching across multiple batches.
