Q: How much pigment should I add to epoxy?
Mixing the pigment at approximately 1 gram per litre in FlowCast, 2 grams per litre in FlowCast SPR or 6 to 8 grams per litre in UVPoxy produces an opaque result.
56Z8122 - Americana Metallic Pigment, 15g (0.5 oz)
EcoPoxy produces superior-quality durable epoxy resin systems developed for the woodworking and art markets.
For use with all EcoPoxy resins, this powder consists of fine mica particles coated with pigment. They remain suspended in the cured epoxy, reflecting light to create a shimmering, iridescent effect.
For an opaque result, the mix ratio for FlowCast resin is approximately 1g/litre, 2g/litre for FlowCast SPR and 6g to 8g/litre for UVPoxy, depending on the color. A translucent appearance can be achieved using reduced ratios: half of the above for FlowCast and FlowCast SPR and 2g to 6g/litre for UVPoxy. A transparent mix requires even less pigment.
Colors can be combined for custom shades or used with EcoPoxy liquid pigments or glitter to produce a range of effects.
Comes in a 15g (0.5 oz) pot.
Made in Canada.
Mixing the pigment at approximately 1 gram per litre in FlowCast, 2 grams per litre in FlowCast SPR or 6 to 8 grams per litre in UVPoxy produces an opaque result.
For translucent results, use about half the opaque ratio in FlowCast and FlowCast SPR, or 2 to 6 grams per litre in UVPoxy; dropping the ratio further produces a transparent tint.
Yes, this pigment works in UVPoxy at approximately 6 to 8 grams per litre for an opaque look, and at a lighter ratio for a translucent tint.
It consists of mica particles coated with pigment, fine enough to stay suspended in the cured resin rather than settling, producing the shimmering effect.
Yes, this pigment blends with other EcoPoxy metallic colors for a custom shade, and layers with liquid pigments or glitter for additional effects.
