More About Permacolour
In 2006 Brian O’Keeffe signed a sole distributorship contract with Cathay Pigments which is now the second-largest manufacturer of pigments (iron oxides) in the world. Purchasing directly from the manufacturer has enabled Permacolour to be the most competitive supplier of iron oxides in the industry.
Permacolour has been marketing a range of iron oxides in water-soluble bags that have become extremely popular. The range comprises 45 standard colours and they offer a custom blending service at the manufacturing plant in New Plymouth which enables an unlimited range of colours for supply. The product is bagged to suit one cubic metre and 0.2 cubic metre concrete loads, for 20-25mpa. For high mpa custom bagging is available.
Permacolour, in partnership with Cathay Pigments, can offer ready-mixed companies and paving manufacturers, the Cathaymat 100 Colour Batching System that can be programmed with up to 100 colours. These are produced to handle the company's FF-grade iron oxide and titanium dioxide. The Colour Batching System can be installed at larger ready mixed and paving plants where there is a high demand for colour.
