- Advantages
- Cost Performance: Economy and versatility are the primary reasons why ochre and umber pigments have enjoyed over 110 years of success in the pigment industry.
- Economical: Ochre and Umber are the most economical buff colorants available today. Ochre based blends repeatedly outperform synthetic iron oxide colors where earth tone shades are desired. On jobs ranging from a residential driveway to a 100,000-plus cubic yard drainage canal, ochre has been chosen because of its economy and performance quality.
- Permanence: Because Ochre and Umber are iron oxides, their color is permanent. They will not fade or wash out. The cave paintings by prehistoric man, as well as the earth pigments used extensively in Renaissance art, attest vividly to the beauty and permanence of natural iron oxide pigments.
- Ease of Use: As natural pigments, Ochre and Umber blend easily and uniformly in all applications.
- Custom Colors containing Ochre and Umber as a base can be formulated to create a new “natural” range of color.
