Custom Color Masonry > Specifications Lafarge s Custom Color Masonry Cements comply with the requirements of ASTM C 91. Properly mixed with 2-1/4 to 3 parts sand conforming to ASTM C 144, the mortar should exceed the requirements of ASTM C 270 for Type N, Type S or Type M. > Custom Colors Although the color samples shown on page 7 are the colors most in demand, some projects call for other shades. Lafarge will be happy to work with its clients to develop the required color. As color can be affected by certain sands used on job sites, Lafarge Masonry Cements can be custom colored so that available sand can be used. All of the samples produced by Lafarge are made with white sand to most accurately demonstrate the color potential of the cement. > Cleaning color mortar Improper cleaning methods can damage a structure. Cleaning colored mortar requires special attention. Muriatic acid should not be used to clean walls built with mortar containing Lafarge cement. The masonry cleaning recommendations of the manufacturer of the masonry unit should be followed. > Light Colors Light color cements for masonry should be mixed with sand that is lighter in color than the cement for masonry. Light color cements for masonry mixed with a dark sand will produce a mortar that is darker than the cement.
