PRODUCTSWhen it comes to color for concrete, Powder, liquid and granule; Davis makes every form of integral concrete color available. Our newest product, the Granufin® color system, was the first granulated-color system for concrete ever patented in the U.S. (patent no. 4,946,505). Granufin® are micron-sized pigment granules made with a binder that stays intact during handling and then enhances color development when added to the mix. Kind of like they melt in the mixer, not in the factory. Granufin® products are used by some of the World's largest manufacturer's of concrete paving stones and masonry block who mix and match them to create hundreds of different colors and millions of different products. Granufin® micro-granules are shipped in one-ton sized bulk bags for convenient handling with Granumat® automatic batching systems. Our Hydrotint® liquids, introduced in 1993 are high-solids liquid suspensions of our powder concentrates. Designed especially for precise metering and pumping by a variety of small to medium scale dispensing systems, they come packaged in 600 pound fiber drums and 275 gallon tote-bins. In 1992, Davis introduced Mix-Ready® disintegrating bags for clean and convenient handling by Ready-Mix operators and contractors. They toss Mix-Ready® bags full of powder concentrates directly into the mixer instead of tossing them into the trash. Operators stay clean, Concrete gets a facelift and the environment gets a break. Our True-Tone™ mortar colors, first sold in 1975 are one of three different series of powder concentrates sold in small bags and boxes precisely measured for use by masonry craftsmen. Of course last, but not least, our original Powder Concentrates. Frank D. Davis, the founder of Davis Colors began processing and marketing pure color pigments to the makers of concrete masonry products in 1952. Today, powder concentrates are the backbone of all our products and still the largest part of our business. In the United States, we make millions of pounds annually. Worldwide; Rockwood Pigments NA, Inc., our parent company, makes hundreds of millions. Quality in Every Step Davis Colors capabilities include blending, grinding, classifying, treating,liquifying, granulating and packaging colors. We take great care to make sure every pound is just right. We use computerized color measuring instruments and certify every batch after a standardized routine of tests including multiple visual inspections by trained color technicians. We also offer clear and tinted sealers to protect and enhance your colored concrete investment. |
