56Z8140 - EcoPoxy Copper 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.
For a fully opaque color, the pigment mixes in at roughly 1 gram per litre for FlowCast, 2 grams per litre for FlowCast SPR or 6 to 8 grams per litre for UVPoxy; a lighter ratio, about half that amount, gives a translucent look instead.
The powder is made of fine mica particles coated with pigment, which stay suspended through the cure instead of settling out, giving the shimmering, iridescent finish.
For flexibility, a mica-based powder like this one works well, since a single pot spans opaque, translucent and transparent results depending on the mix ratio.
Yes, this pigment blends with other EcoPoxy metallic colors for a custom shade, and layers with liquid pigments or glitter for additional effects.
A pot holds 15g (0.5 oz) of pigment, enough for several small batches given how few grams per litre the mix ratios call for.
Stir the pigment into the resin fully before the hardener goes in, since adding it to a partially mixed batch can leave clumps; a mixing stick or blade attachment clears those up quickly.
