Pigments for the colouring of building materials based on cement and/or lime - Specifications and methods of test

This European Standard specifies the requirements and the test methods for pigments for use in the colouring of building materials based on cement and cement/lime combinations.
Pigments covered by this European Standard can also be used in pure lime mortar. For this application see
EN 459-1 and EN 459-2.
Pigments for this purpose can be single pigments, blends of pigments, or blends of pigments and extenders, in powder or granular form, or aqueous preparations.
Pigments typically belong to one of the following classes of compounds:
- synthetic or natural oxides and hydroxides of iron;
- oxides of chromium, titanium and manganese;
- complex inorganic pigments, for example combinations of the above mentioned metal oxides and hydroxides with cobalt, aluminium, nickel and antimony oxides and hydroxides;
- ultramarine pigments;
- phthalocyanine blue and green;
- elemental carbon (should be regarded as an inorganic pigment);
- blends of the above materials (which may also include extenders).

Pigmente zum Einfärben von zement- und/oder kalkgebundenen Baustoffen - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Pigmente fest, die zum Einfärben von
Baustoffen aus Zement und Zement-/Kalkmischungen verwendet werden.
Pigmente nach dieser Europäischen Norm dürfen auch in reinem Kalkmörtel verwendet werden. Für diese
Anwendung siehe EN 459-1 und EN 459-2.
Pigmente für diese Anwendung dürfen Einzelpigmente, Pigment-Mischungen oder Pigment/Füllstoff-Mischungen in
pulveriger oder granulierter Form oder wässrige Präparationen sein.
Die Hauptbestandteile der Pigmente gehören üblicherweise zu einer der folgenden Klassen von Stoffen:
. synthetische oder natürliche Oxide und Hydroxide des Eisens;
. Oxide von Chrom, Titan und Mangan;
. komplexe anorganische Oxide und Hydroxide, z. B. Kombinationen aus den o. g. Oxiden und Hydroxiden mit
Kobalt-, Aluminium-, Nickel- und Antimonoxiden und -hydroxiden;
. Ultramarine;
. Phthalocyaninblau und -grün;
. Kohlenstoff (ist als anorganisch zu betrachten);
. Mischungen der o. g. Materialien (die auch Füllstoffe enthalten können).
