Cemix Oxide Powder for colouring concrete
I have about 1.5kg of Cemix Coloured oxide in 2 convenient screw top jars which can be used to add colour to your mortar and or concrete. The jars have been mixed together and are now a reddish terracotta colour. Ample here to do a reasonable size area
For a 25Kg bag of concrete mix approx 300gms of Oxide and for a 40Kg concrete bag - 500gms of Oxide is recommended.
For a 30Kg Mortar bag - add approx 500gms of Oxide.
For a 30Kg plaster/render bag of Cemix Cemplaster mix 300gms of Oxide.
As a general rule - coloured oxide is added at a ratio of 1% - 4% by weight of cement in the mix.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
