Q
how to colour epoxy
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
To color epoxy, you need to select the appropriate dye or pigment designed for epoxy resin. There are two main types: liquid dyes and powdered pigments. Liquid dyes blend easily with epoxy, offering a wide range of colors but can affect the resin's transparency and cure time. Powdered pigments, on the other hand, provide vibrant colors and do not alter the cure time as much as liquid dyes but require thorough mixing to avoid clumps. Always mix the colorant with part A (the epoxy resin) before combining it with part B (the hardener) to ensure an even color distribution. Add colorant sparingly, as too much can affect the epoxy's structural integrity. Conduct a small test before applying to your project to ensure the desired color and effect.
