Applications of concrete.
With the development of ecological, natural, and green low-carbon design concepts in building construction, the emergence of “green” concrete products aligned with these ideals is gradually gaining momentum in the construction industry. Among these advancements, the development and application of decorative concretes such as colored and shaped variants are particularly prominent. As demands for concrete aesthetics soar, color, in addition to design, plays a pivotal role in transforming the visual appeal of concrete. Yuxing has conducted extensive research on concrete coloring technology, applying it to practical engineering to offer a plethora of coloring agents tailored for decorative concrete and their associated color solutions!
From the perspective of concrete properties, when selecting pigments for concrete, it is advisable to opt for those with good hydrophilicity, alkali resistance, acid resistance, thermal stability, frost resistance, ease of dispersion, color fastness, strong adaptability to external environments, and minimal impact on the strength development of concrete. Yuxing’s iron oxide pigment series possesses the aforementioned characteristics and is extensively utilized in the production of roofing tiles, concrete bricks, courtyard blocks, paving blocks, and other applications.
Furthermore, when the Yuxing iron oxide pigment series comes into contact with concrete, it serves a dual purpose. On one hand, it neutralizes and alters the alkaline environment on the surface of concrete, reducing the surface tension of concrete. This process facilitates a chemical reaction with the alkaline mineral calcium hydroxide in concrete, enhancing stability on the concrete surface and diminishing the likelihood of discoloration and fading. On the other hand, Yuxing’s iron oxide pigments ionize a fraction of electrons with a weak ionization constant, serving as ligands that engage in electron transfer. This interaction attracts metal ions and oxidants to undergo complexation reactions, producing stable complexes that integrate into the concrete surface. Through this mechanism, a durable and vibrant colored concrete surface is achieved.
