Adding pigments to the resin at the right time



Adding Pigments to Epoxy Resin at the Right Time

Adding pigments to resin is a process that requires attention and timing. To color the resin, pigments are added after mixing the two components, resin and hardener, but before the hardening process begins. This moment usually occurs a few minutes after the mixing has started. It is important to mix the pigments thoroughly to ensure a uniform color. Remember that the amount of pigment used affects the intensity of the final color.

Best Pigments for Epoxy Resin

The best pigments for epoxy resin are those that guarantee long-lasting and light-resistant coloring. There are powder, paste, and liquid pigments suitable for various types of resin, including epoxy and polyester. The choice depends on the desired shade, transparency level, and ease of use. To achieve the best results, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the amount of pigment to use in relation to the quantity of resin.

Resin Pigmentation Techniques

Resin pigmentation is a process that allows coloring epoxy resin or silicone rubber to achieve artistic or functional effects. You can use liquid pigment, powder, or paste depending on the desired effect. Add the pigment slowly while mixing well to avoid clumping. It is recommended not to exceed 3-5% of pigment compared to the total weight of the resin to preserve the material's characteristics. Always remember to wear gloves and a mask during the operation.

Ideal Time to Add Pigments

The ideal time to add pigments to epoxy resin is immediately after thoroughly mixing the two components, resin and hardener. At this stage, the resin is still liquid and easily workable. Once the pigment is added, mix until you achieve a uniform color. Remember to work quickly because the resin starts to harden after a certain period, varying depending on the specific product.
