About Katt Industries n.v.
Katt Industries was established in 1992, in Brussels, Belgium.Initially specialized in Wood Finishes, the company was mainly
active in the Gulf Area of the Middle East. After positive feedback from wood finishes in the Industrial
sector, Katt Industries launched a new range of decorative finishes based on metallic powders dedicated to professional end-users.
Recently, Katt Industries n.v. developed a unique Architectural range for mineral surfaces and developed a specific range of products dedicated to contractors, architects, project managers, construction material resellers, etc.

Fusion Coloring
The market requirement to uniformly color exposed aggregateconcrete, led to years of research and on-site trials.Katt Industries created a unique, environmentally-friendly suiteof coloring products and systems. Further developments
addressedvarious technical difficulties encountered in coloring concrete in a cost-effective, practical and industrial way; thereby allowing theusage of new, bold and natural decorative effects.

Katt Concrete Fusion colors react and penetrate
through the surface keeping sharp details
Common paints form a film on the surface and
erode details

Katt Fusion Colors - Features Suitable coloring technique for commonly-used construction
materials (precast and exposed aggregate concrete, GRC, etc.)
Enlarged design possibilities. Katt Fusion Colors go beyond the usual beige and grey concrete colors, and enable the addition of decorative shadows, additional hues, special effects, etc.
Economically cheaper than integrating pigment additives into the production process.
Highly resistant to harsh climatic conditions as opposed to common organic paints. This is mainly due to the unique pigments and reactive properties of Katt Fusion Colors.

Katt Fusion Colors can be applied to any mineral surface such as: precast, exposed aggregate, GRC, artificial stones, GRG, etc.
However, it is important to note that the optical propertiesof a surface’s texture affectscolor perception.

Katt Fusion Colors - Application Methods
Katt Fusion Colors can be applied by spray, paint roller or brush.
The material needs to be applied at temperatures above 5°C, and during hot conditions, it should be applied at cooler times during the day. Application should be avoided when the surface is hot or exposed to direct sunlight or during intense wind conditions.

Katt Fusion Colors - Special Properties
Katt Fusion Colors are unique products designed to alter the color of mineral surfaces and cured concrete, through chemical fusion. This provides a protection that lasts for decades. Katt Fusion Colors are environmentally-friendly, sustainable, green products, with zero emission VOC, containing no organic solvents, using reactive penetrant colors and are non-off gassing. Their exclusive formulation changes colors of substrates without altering surface texture.
Katt Fusion Colors “Petrify” fuse by binding to any silicates within the substrate, forming a micro-crystalline structure and a breathable finish. This forms a permanent chemical bond, fused insoluble compound of color, becoming an integral part of concrete - mineral surfaces (natural stone, marble, GRC, brick, etc.). Unlike a coating, Katt Fusion Colors do not form a film on the substrate, hence the colors will not chip, crack, fade, or peel, as with traditional paints or other surface application products.

Working with Katt Industries n.v.
From its very early stages, Katt Industries has used its R&D capabilities and know-how to improve its existing product range and reinforce its market share. With the same motivation and willingness to penetrate new markets, Katt Industries recently decided to shift to construction support industries, such as precast, decorative panels, GRC etc. and enter the market with its exclusive and unique architectural finish products. In order to effectively penetrate into new markets,Katt Industries believes in close-collaboration with local partners, with strong market knowledge.
