Pigments powders

Powder pigment for resin is a loose material that we mix into the casting resin to colour it. Pigment powders are distinguished by the material from which they are made. Clay powders are very fine powders made from clays (mineral-based - calcium, carbonates, sulphates) by firing and crushing them. It does not dissolve in casting resin. The colour shades of clay pigments can be mixed together to create further colour variations. The amount we add - saturating the epoxy resin - should not exceed 15% of the coloured amount of casting resin. Clay pigments need to be mixed thoroughly and small particles filtered out by pouring through a filter sieve. Clay powders give the casting resin naturally natural colour tones. Clay powders make the casting resin opaque. Metal powders for casting resin are made by grinding metals. It is added to the casting resin in very small amounts, 1-5%. Metal powder is used in the creation of resin paintings, coasters, resin tables and other resin products. Metallic powders represent a large group of loose pigments available in many colour shades. They are made from mica, which is vapour-coated with various metals and then ground into a powder pigment. Metallic powder is most often used on resin tables, but it also finds its place in the creation of paintings, the production of coasters, resin jewellery and other decorations. Metallic powders are also called pearlescent pigments for resin due to their shimmering reflections. Powder pigments make the casting resin opaque.
