Epoxy Pigments are
stable dispersions of dry
organic/ inorganic pigment
powders in a saturated polymeric
plasticizer. They are
used for coloring epoxy resins/hardner
systems for all epoxy based
applications.
Properties of the
pigment:
The base pigments are selected
based on properties such as:
- Light Fastness
- Heat Resistance
- U.V. Resistance
- Outdoor durability
- Chemical Resistance
- Electrical Properties
- Coverage Properties
- Stability
- Uniform dispersion
Pigment usage:
Colourtech
Epoxy Pigments can
be used at 5-10% based on
the weight of the resin.
Small quantities of pigments
can be mixed easily by hand
stirring. However for
large quantities of pigments,
power mixing is essential.
As a general rule the epoxy
resin should be added to the
pigment, with simultaneous
stirring. Note that
the hardener should be added
to the pigmented epoxy at
the actual time of use, according
to the instructions of the
epoxy resin system manufacturer. |
