Epoxy Pigment is a coloring agent specifically designed to be mixed with epoxy resin to add color and visual effects. It’s widely used in art, crafts, flooring, countertops, and industrial applications where both durability and aesthetics are important.
🔹 Types of Epoxy Pigment:
Liquid Pigments
Pre-dispersed in a liquid carrier
Easy to mix
Produce solid, opaque, or translucent colors
Powder Pigments
Fine dry powders
Typically metallic or pearlescent (e.g., mica powder)
Create shimmering or 3D effects
Paste Pigments
Thick, concentrated color paste
Richer color depth, often used in artistic resin work
Alcohol Inks / Dyes
Produce transparent, flowing effects
Popular in resin art for creating cells and color bursts
🔹 Key Features:
High Color Strength: A small amount can color a large quantity of resin.
UV Resistant (varies by product): Some pigments help resist yellowing under UV exposure.
Compatible with Epoxy Systems: Designed to blend uniformly without interfering with curing.
Customizable Colors: Can be blended to create custom shades.
🔹 Common Applications:
Resin art and jewelry
Epoxy countertops and tables (e.g., river tables)
Floor coatings
Automotive and marine coatings
Industrial and decorative moldings
🔹 How to Use:
Mix the pigment thoroughly into the epoxy resin before adding hardener.
Start with a small amount (e.g., 1-5% by weight) and adjust based on desired opacity.
Avoid overloading, which may affect curing or finish.
