Primary Colours Resin Tinting Pigments (Pack of 6)

Product Description

A set of 6 high quality translucent tinting pigments intended for creating subtle tints or translucent colouring of water-clear casting resins including polyester, polyurethane and epoxy casting resins.

The set comprises of 6 vivid colours ideal for tinting or pigmenting jewellery, sculptures and design prototypes with anywhere between a faint hint of colour to a very strong, yet still translucent colour.

Only a tiny drop of these specially developed pigments is needed to add translucent colour effects to resin castings and so each 25ml bottle is sufficient to tint large quantities of resin. In fact, a subtle tinting effect can be achieved with less than 0.0004% (1 droplet in a 35g casting) and so each bottle is capable of tinting 40kgs of resin!

These translucent pigments are compatible with:

• Polyurethane casting resins (such as our Waterclear Polyurethane Casting Resin)
• Waterclear polyester casting resins (such as our Waterclear Polyester Casting Resin)
• Epoxy resins (such as our Epoxy Coating Resin and Epoxy Laminating Resin)

They have been tested with products from the GlassCast range but should also work well with resins from other manufacturers however you should always conduct your own tests as to their compatibility with other resin systems.

As stated above, when 'tinting' clear resins the key is to use only a tiny amount of these translucent pigments. 1 droplet is enough to pigment around 20-40g of resin, depending on how strong you want the colour tint to be.

Remember that thicker castings will require a lower percentage of pigment because the tint will appear stronger the thicker the section is. Conversely, thinner castings will require a higher percentage of pigment in order to appear to be the same colour as thicker castings.
