Our Services

Color Matching

Oxerra offers industry leading color matching service. State-of-the-art color measurement equipment and years of color matching experience are used to produce fast, responsive, and accurate color matches. Some of the color matching services offered are as follows:

  • Pigment Sample Matching Pigment to pigment color matching work is performed in each customer’s unique application.
  • Competitive Offsets In most cases, Cathay can use our extensive color matching database to provide offsets to competitive pigments.
  • Application Matching “Sample Matching” is the most common service provided by the Cathay lab. Customers send in samples (bricks, blocks, pavers, stucco, mortar, etc) to the lab. Each customer’s raw materials and production methods are used by the lab to create a custom match for the submitted sample. Using each customers’ specific materials and process allows the match to “scale up” from lab to plant.

Automation Equipment

  • Plant Scoping A team of pigment automation experts evaluates each application and presents a variety of options as well as our recommendations.

Process Reviews

Through many years of experience, Oxerra has learned that many “color” problems are not related to the pigment at all. Variables like moisture, curing, aggregates, cement, and other process variables all affect the “color” of the finished product. As a pigment supplier, our goal is to help our customers produce the most consistent color possible.

 

Formulation Assistance

Manufacturing and ingredient changes can occur for a variety of reasons when making a concrete product. Unfortunately, a change in any aspect of the process or raw materials can produce a color change.

The Cathay Industries color lab can help minimize the color variation that will result from a process or raw material change. Our color lab can provide testing and corrective recommendations for the following:
