Choosing the right colourant is essential when aiming for rich, dark shades with UV resin. Colourfun colourants offer a simple way to achieve intense, even pigmentation in your UV resin projects, including deep and opaque colours.
Compatibility of Colourfun with UV Resin
Colourfun liquid dyes are designed for versatility, allowing use with both epoxy and UV resin systems. Their highly concentrated formulas provide strong pigmentation, so you can easily achieve deep, dark hues without overloading your resin. With excellent blending properties, they disperse smoothly for consistent colour results throughout.
How to Achieve Dark Colours in UV Resin
Getting perfect dark shades in UV resin is all about adjusting the amount of Colourfun pigment you add. Start with a small amount and gradually increase until you reach your desired opacity. For shades like black or deep blue, Colourfun’s liquid colourant offers intense coverage, usually requiring only a few drops per small batch. Ensure thorough mixing to avoid streaks or uneven colouring.
Practical Tips for Mixing and Use
- Always mix the pigment thoroughly to ensure uniform colour.
- Keep pigment concentration below 5% of your total resin volume to maintain resin properties and curing behaviour.
- For custom shades, blend black and other dark Colourfun colours, or for grey, mix white and black variants as required.
When This Matters
If you are aiming for dramatic, solid or semi-opaque effects in resin jewellery, art, or model making, choosing the right pigment makes a difference. Colourfun provides a reliable way to get strong, stable results in both small and larger UV resin projects.
