Iron oxide yellow pigment for tinting ceramic granule asphalt cement

Iron oxide yellow pigment is commonly used to tint various materials, including ceramic granule asphalt cement. To tint the asphalt cement with iron oxide yellow pigment, you can follow these steps:Prepare the asphalt cement: First, prepare the asphalt cement mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions or the desired specifications.Calculate the required amount: Determine the amount of iron oxide yellow pigment needed based on the desired tint intensity or color hue. The recommended dosage typically ranges from 0.5% to 5% of the total weight of the asphalt cement mixture.Mix the pigment: In a separate container, mix the iron oxide yellow pigment with a small amount of asphalt cement to create a paste or slurry. Mix thoroughly until the pigment is evenly dispersed.Add the pigment to the asphalt cement: Slowly add the pigment paste or slurry into the main asphalt cement mixture while stirring continuously. Ensure thorough mixing to achieve a uniform tint.Test and adjust: After adding the pigment, it is advisable to test a small sample of the tinted asphalt cement to assess the color accuracy and adjust if necessary. If the desired color is not achieved, add more pigment in small increments until the desired tint is achieved.Note: It is important to use high-quality iron oxide yellow pigment suitable for ceramic granule asphalt cement tinting to ensure color stability and durability. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and safety precautions when handling and using the pigment.
