Pigments Powder for Asphalt Coloring

High-performance inorganic pigment with excellent color stability, weather resistance, and broad application range.

Manufacturer of High-Visibility Asphalt Pigments

Deqing Demi Pigment Technology Co., Ltd. provides specialized iron oxide and chromium oxide powders for the global infrastructure market. Our asphalt-grade pigments are selected for their high tinting strength, which is necessary to overcome the natural dark color of the bitumen binder. We work with road construction companies and asphalt plants to provide solutions that improve road safety and aesthetics while maintaining the mechanical durability required for heavy traffic areas.

Asphalt Coloring Usage

  • Bicycle and Pedestrian Paths: Color-coding for non-motorized traffic zones.
  • Bus Lanes: Durable red or green asphalt for dedicated transit lanes.
  • Safety Zones: High-visibility coloring for intersections and pedestrian crossings.
  • Parking Areas: Decorative and functional coloring for commercial parking lots.

Functional Attributes for Road Materials

  • High Tinting Power: Effectively colors the asphalt matrix at addition rates of 3% to 6%.
  • UV Resistance: Prevents fading under direct sun exposure on large horizontal surfaces.
  • Aggregate Bonding: Does not inhibit the chemical bond between the bitumen and the stone aggregate.
  • Ease of Use: Can be added directly to the asphalt mixer in meltable bags to reduce dust.
  • Q: Can these pigments be used in cold-mix asphalt?

    A: Yes, these inorganic powders are compatible with both hot-mix and cold-mix (bitumen emulsion) systems.

  • Q: Does the color affect the temperature of the pavement?

    A: Lighter colored pigments can increase the Total Solar Reflectance (TSR) of the road surface, potentially reducing the urban heat island effect compared to black asphalt.

Bulk Logistics and Packaging

We provide logistics solutions for large-scale road projects, including 1000kg "Big Bags" or specialized 10kg-25kg PE-meltable bags that can be thrown directly into the asphalt plant pugmill.

Technical Field Support: We offer guidance on dosage rates based on the type of bitumen (clear vs. dark) being used, ensuring the most cost-effective coloring strategy for our customers.

Managing Contrast in Bituminous Systems

The science of asphalt coloring involves the management of "Contrast Ratio." Because bitumen is naturally dark, the pigment must have a high scattering coefficient. We use CIELab data to determine the saturation levels achievable with different bitumen grades. By providing pigments with a high chroma (a* and b*), we ensure that the road surface remains visible and distinct even after the initial surface binder film wears off, exposing the pigmented aggregate-mortar matrix.
