Pigment paste is a colored substance that is used to color all types of resin, gelcoat and polyurethane. Pigment paste consists of dyes, pigments, gums, water and other additives mixed together to form a sticky substance.
Pigments in pigment paste are responsible for creating color and color spectrum. These pigments may be extracted from different sources such as chemicals or natural materials and thus produce various colors. Also, solvents and oils are used in the pigment paste to facilitate the mixing of pigments and to create the necessary consistency and flexibility for long-term use.
Powder colors are combined in solvents to form a paste, which is called paste paint or color paste. In this way, it becomes easier to use them than powder colors. Usually, paste colors (pigment paste) are non-transparent and are not used alone. To use them, you need help from a dryer.
The spectrum of color paste is mostly the same as the main colors. Of course, you can get more colors by combining basic colors; therefore, the main colors are white, black, yellow, green, red and blue.
Because the pigment paste has a high concentration, only one drop of it can color a large amount of epoxy or polyester resin. As a result, it is more economical than other colors.
Pigment pastes are combined in a completely satisfactory manner. Usually, the combination of other colors to make a new color may not be as good as the pigment paste. As we mentioned above, pigment paste is not used alone. In other words, they must be dissolved in other materials such as epoxy resin to create the desired color.
If you need a matte and non-glossy color in your product, be sure to use pigment paste. The pigment paste is odorless and has full coverage compared to other colors; therefore, it does less damage to the environment than other colors. Pigment paste is resistant to ultraviolet rays and has a long life.
The most application of pigment paste is observed in resin products. For example, you should use paste paint to create designs of the wind or the sea floor. Also, if epoxy resin is used for the floor of the building or the roof, they choose the pigment paste base color for high coverage.
In general, pigment paste is used to color products such as: lacquer, varnish, cellulose paints, oil paints, printing ink, paper, metal and iron parts.
Pigment paste is made on the basis of water. No solvent or monomer is used in the production of this product; Therefore, there is no need for a solvent to use it, and by combining it with the resin material or the materials mentioned above, the desired pigment is dissolved.
The way to use pigment paste is that you have to combine the paste color with materials such as resin and hardener, and they cannot be used alone. It is better to know that you can use one gram of pigment paste for 100 grams of resin. Using more pigment paste will spoil your work and cause problems with the gel time until the product dries.
Be sure to use a clean and dust-free container to combine and prepare your ingredients. Also add resin in two steps. Stir the ingredients very slowly. In this case, you will experience the best quality of pigment paste.
