Achieving bold, dark hues in UV resin opens up fresh creative opportunities for resin artists and crafters. Colourfun colourants are designed to work with both epoxy and UV resins, making rich, dense colours within easy reach.
Compatibility and Colour Power
Colourfun liquid resin colourants pair seamlessly with UV resin, just as they do with epoxy. The formula is highly concentrated, so only a small amount is needed to develop deep, opaque colours. Choose from shades like black, blue, red, and combine with white to further fine-tune intensity or create custom tones. Their easy blendability ensures even colour distribution without affecting the resin’s essential properties.
A practical place to begin is with a product like the Colourfun Liquid Epoxy Resin Colourant, which delivers strong, vivid colour from just a few drops.
Tips for Creating Dark Shades in UV Resin
To develop intense or dark finishes, gradually add the colourant to the resin, mixing thoroughly each time. For completely opaque effects, build up pigment slowly – but avoid exceeding 5% dye by resin mass to maintain proper curing. For bespoke hues, blend black with other primary Colourfun shades or add a touch of white for greys and muted tones. Colourfun’s high coverage makes it economical and reliable: a single 25ml bottle can transform up to 2–3 kg of resin.
When This Matters Most
Deep colour is especially important for jewellery, statement art pieces, and decorative objects where impact matters. Working with UV resin and Colourfun colourants enables fast curing and creative flexibility, ideal for makers who value strong, lasting colour with minimal effort.
