To achieve the same shade, different amounts of pigment are required for different types of MORTEX® 2 powders. The coarser the grain, the more pigment will be needed. Below, we provide the MORTEX® COLOR 2 powder grain size chart for roughly determining the layer thickness and consumption per m².

Due to the different grain size of MORTEX® COLOR 2 powder, different amounts of BEALCRYL 2 will be required for each type of MORTEX® COLOR 2 powder. The table below shows the ratio of powder to BEALCRYL 2 per kg of powder. The weight of BEALCRYL 2 per 100 ml is 103 g.

Due to the different grain size of MORTEX® COLOR 2 powder, different amounts of pigment will be required for each type of MORTEX® COLOR 2 powder.

The table below shows the additional percentage of pigment, taking into account that the percentage of pigment given in the formulas is for 2-N powder.

As we add different (and therefore additional) amounts of pigment to the mixture, additional BEALCRYL 2 is needed to maintain the colour and properties of the mixture. For this purpose, we add 50% by weight of BEALCRYL 2 liquid to the amount of pigment added.

We will mix two different mixtures for the 2-N and 2-F2 layers to get the same shade. We will use the abbreviations below:

Colour:

BM2020 JEANS INTENSE

Pigments to be added when mixing N powders to obtain the specified colour per kilogram of powder:

BR NOIR 318 - 13,50

BLEU OUTREMER 8100 - 50,00

BLEU CEMENTO 3XOM - 30,00

Let's say you need to cover an area of 5 m² with layers N and F2. This will require 10 kg of N and 5 kg of F2 powder (see powder table above)

Layer N:

Pigment:

10 kg N with BC compensation:

BR NOIR 318 = 13,50 x 10 = 135,00 g

BLEU OUTREMER 8100 = 50,00 x 10 = 500,00 g

BLEU CEMENTO 3XOM = 30,00 x 10 = 300,00 g

The total pigment yield is 935.00 g, so an additional 467.50 g of BC will be needed to compensate for the BC (935 x 50% = 467.5 g)

Powder N:

1 kg of N powder requires 206 g of BC, so 10 kg (N) x 206 g (BC) will require 2060 g (BC)

To obtain the mixture you will need:

10 kg (N) + 2060 g (BC) + 467.5 g (BC compensation) + 135.00 g (BR NOIR 318) + 500.00 g (BLEU OUTREMER) + 300.00 g (BLEU CEMENTO)

Layer F2:

Pigment:

For 5 kg F2 with colour compensation and BC compensation:

BR NOIR 318 = 13,50 x 5 = 135,00 g + 30% (40,50 g) = 175,50 g

BLEU OUTREMER 8100 = 50,00 x 5 = 500,00 g + 30% (150,00 g) = 650,00 g

BLEU CEMENTO 3XOM = 30,00 x 5 = 300,00 g + 30% (90,00 g) = 390,00 g

The total pigment yield is 1215.50 g, so an additional (1215.50 x 50% = 607.75 g) 607.75 g of BC will be needed to compensate for the BC

Powder F2:

1 kg of F2 powder requires 237 g BC, so 5 kg (N) x 237 g (BC) will require 1185 g (BC)

To obtain the mixture you will need:

5 kg (N) + 1185 g (BC) + 607,75 g (BC compensation) + 175,50 g (BR NOIR 318) + 650,00 g (BLEU OUTREMER) + 390,00 g (BLEU CEMENTO)

TIP!

First, weigh separately the required amount of BC. Then weigh separately the required amount of pigment(s). You mix the pigment (if more than one pigment is used) in a separate container and dilute it with a small amount of the already weighed BC. You stir the mixture with brushes until it becomes a homogeneous (not lumpy) mass. Pour this mass back into the already weighed quantity of BC. Weigh the required amount of powder and pour it into a separate clean container. *** Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) ***

Pour 2/3 of the BC into the prepared dry, clean bowl and stir in the powder a little at a time. After all the powder has been poured in, use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the container (where there will be residual powder) and pour in the rest of the BC. Stir until a homogeneous mass is formed. Wait 2-3 minutes and stir again.

You can use the mixture for up to 30 - 45 minutes. Do not make too large a quantity of the mixture that cannot be applied within 30-45 minutes.
