Recommended Addition by Resin System

Polyester Gelcoats 8–10%
Standard addition by weight for professional-grade opacity.
Lamination Resins (unfilled) 5%
Recommended for unfilled layup resins.
Black Pigment (max) 5%
Limit to 5% — higher concentrations may interfere with cure.
White / Light Shades Up to 12%
Up to 12% may be required for critical high-opacity applications.
💡 Pro Tip: For critical high-opacity needs with white or light shades, consider a pre-pigmented gelcoat or a pigmented backing resin for the most consistent results.

Application Protocol

Three Steps to a
Flawless Finish

Follow this professional application sequence to achieve optimal color depth, uniform distribution, and a defect-free surface.

1

Homogenize Before Use

Pigment pastes can settle during storage. Contents must be stirred thoroughly before use to redistribute settled pigment and ensure a completely uniform color paste.

2

Pigment Before Catalyst

Always disperse the pigment paste into the resin before adding the catalyst or hardener. This sequence ensures complete integration and prevents localized colour variations.

3

Low-Shear Mixing

Use a low-shear mixer or the "double-mix" method — pre-mix paste in a small amount of resin first, then combine with the bulk resin. Avoids aeration and fisheyes in the final finish.

Storage & Stability

Long Life.
Zero Compromise.

Proper storage preserves your investment and guarantees consistent color performance batch after batch.

12+ 📅

Shelf Life

Stable for at least 12 months in sealed, unopened containers — often usable for years under optimal conditions.

25°C 🌡️

Temperature Limit

Store in a cool, dark area below 25°C for maximum shelf life and consistent pigment performance.

🔦

Dark Storage

Keep containers away from direct light and sunlight. Dark storage prevents premature UV degradation of pigments.

🛢️

Outdoor Containers

If storing drums outdoors, keep containers in a horizontal position to prevent water ingress through lids.
