Q
how much powder pigment to add to epoxy
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
The amount of powder pigment to add to epoxy depends on the desired opacity and color intensity. Typically, a ratio of 1 part pigment to 100 parts epoxy by weight (1%) is a good starting point for a tinted, translucent look. For opaque coloring, increasing the pigment up to 5-6% of the weight of the resin can be effective. However, exceeding this can affect the epoxy's structural integrity and curing process. Always mix a small test batch first to gauge the color intensity. Adding pigment gradually until reaching the desired shade is advisable, as it's easier to increase the intensity than to dilute it. It's crucial to ensure that the pigment is well-mixed to avoid any uneven coloration or clumping. Different types of epoxy and pigments may react differently, so consulting the manufacturer's guidelines can provide more specific advice.
