Bayferrox pigments comply with ASTM C979 Pigments for Integrally Colored Concrete. They are pure synthetically produced iron oxide pigments that are insoluble, light fast, alkali and lime resistant, and stable under exposure to sunlight and UV radiation.

When we make Bayferrox, we make numerous shades of red, yellow and black pigment. Many of these same colors have been produced to the same specifications from the beginning. We then take 2 or more of these shades and blend them at exact proportions to create a variety of brown blends. Colors like Autumn, Camel, Desert Sand and Pine Needle are a few examples of the many shades of brown that are available from LANXESS.

Bayferrox is packaged in standard 50 pound paper bags or bulk bags. We also have available special sized bags and those that disintegrate.
