Concrete Pigment Powder for Integral Color
ColorBlast™ Concrete Pigment is a professional-grade, iron-oxide-based concrete pigment powder used to color concrete, mortar, stucco, and cement throughout the entire mix — not just the surface. Mix ColorBlast directly into your concrete batch to produce permanent, fade-proof color that runs all the way through the slab, casting, or pour. Because the color is integral, it can't chip, peel, or wear off the way surface coatings do.
ColorBlast is manufactured from synthetic iron oxide pigments — the same raw material used by major concrete manufacturers and decorative concrete contractors for over a century. These iron oxide concrete pigments are UV stable, lightfast, alkali-resistant, and chemically inert, which means ColorBlast holds its color through years of sun exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and high-pH cement environments without fading or breaking down.
Available in a wide range of colors including warm earth tones, deep blacks, vibrant reds, bright whites, and specialty shades like cobalt blue, terracotta, and charcoal.
What ColorBlast Concrete Pigment Is Used For
Concrete countertops — Integral concrete pigment is the standard for concrete countertops because surface stains can wear in heavy-use kitchen and bathroom environments. ColorBlast mixed into the concrete batch produces permanent color that survives daily use, cleaning, and re-sealing.
Decorative concrete pours — Driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, fire pits, garden borders, and architectural concrete elements where you want the color built into the slab from day one rather than applied afterward.
Mortar and stucco — Tint mortar joints with ColorBlast to match or contrast with brick and stone. Color stucco for architectural exteriors. The same iron oxide concrete pigment works in any portland cement mix.
Cast stone, GFRC, and concrete crafts — Cement planters, stepping stones, pavers, garden ornaments, fire bowls, vases, and decorative castings. ColorBlast is also used by candle makers, resin artists, and soap makers as a colorant for craft applications where iron oxide stability matters.
Color matching and repairs — Match existing colored concrete for patches and additions. ColorBlast comes in standard color formulations that contractors can specify and reorder consistently.
Why Iron Oxide Concrete Pigment Outperforms Cheap Alternatives
Not all concrete pigments are made the same. The market is full of low-grade pigments that fade, bleed, or weaken the concrete itself by interfering with cement hydration. ColorBlast is formulated from high-purity synthetic iron oxide — the same standard that's been used in commercial concrete coloring for decades because it delivers:
- UV stability — Won't fade from sun exposure, even after years of outdoor use
- Alkali resistance — Holds color in the high-pH environment of fresh concrete
- Chemical inertness — Won't react with or weaken the concrete matrix
- Color consistency — Same dosage produces the same result across batches
- Fine particle dispersion — Mixes evenly into the batch with no clumping, streaking, or color hotspots

Bulk pricing kicks in at the 10 lb and 25 lb sizes — the more you buy, the lower the per-pound cost. Contractors running multiple projects or large pours should size up to lock in the best per-pound price and avoid mid-project reorders that risk batch variation.
About repulpable bags — ColorBlast ships in repulpable kraft paper bags that dissolve directly into the concrete mix. Drop the entire bag into the mixer with your dry cement, mix, and the bag breaks down completely with no residue. This eliminates the transfer step that introduces measurement error and pigment waste, ensures every gram of pigment ends up in the batch, and saves cleanup time on the jobsite. It's the same packaging method used by major commercial concrete pigment suppliers.
