Emalia Mica colour pigment 10g for epoxy resins and colouring

Description

Emalia Mica colour pigment is a fine, mica-based colour powder designed for tinting various binders, especially epoxy resins. The pigment does not dissolve; it mixes evenly into the compound, forming a translucent, pearlescent colour.

The layered mineral composition typical of mica pigments reflects light from different angles, which makes the result look lively and deep. The shade and opacity depend on the dose, the thickness of the compound and the binder used.

The 10 gram pack size suits accurate dosing and is enough for colouring about 1 kg. The pigment is a dry powder that can be mixed directly into resin, varnish or another clear or light-coloured compound.

The colour pigment is commonly used where you want to combine colour with a light-reflecting surface without a fully opaque result. The pigment contains no binder and always needs a separate carrier.

Intended use:

• Colouring epoxy resins: The pigment is mixed into liquid epoxy resin before curing. By adjusting the dose, you can achieve either a light pearlescent sheen or a stronger shade. The pigment suits castings, coatings and layered structures where even colour and visual depth are key.
• UV resins and clear compounds: Mica pigment also works well in UV resins and other clear or semi-transparent compounds. The fine texture helps the pigment spread evenly, which reduces colour streaks and lumps in small moulds and thin layers.
• Decorative and surface tinting: The pigment can be used to tint various surfaces when mixed into varnishes, gels or other clear coating materials. This gives a metallic or pearlescent effect without opaque paint.

Emalia Mica colour pigment 10g instructions for use:

Add a small amount of pigment to the resin at a time and mix thoroughly until the colour is even. You can adjust the strength of the colour with the amount of pigment.

The general dosing recommendation is about 10 g pigment / 1 kg epoxy. A smaller amount gives a more subtle sheen, a larger amount a stronger, more opaque shade. Different shades can also be mixed together.
