In partnership with leading concrete manufacturers and specifiers, CCS has provided the colour component to iconic projects around Australia since 1994. With excellent pigments and comprehensive technical support, concrete suppliers and specifiers know that they can rely on CCS to generate great project outcomes.
High strength pigments made to endure
Only high-tint strength, long lasting pigments are used to create CCS Pigment Concentrates. CCS Pigments consist of blends of synthetic iron oxides, titanium dioxides, chrome oxides and cobalt aluminium with maximum resistance to UV light and the aggressive alkaline conditions in concrete. They are manufactured in accordance with a Quality System certified to ISO 9001 and conform to the relevant world standards for pigments.
Specify different surface finishes to create contrast and greater interest

The below photos depict a job where a single colour was used Trowel finish whereas the right is an Exposed Aggregate finish. Removing 3mm of the surface layer of the concrete reveals the colour of the aggregates which significantly alters the final appearance
