UVO Pigment – 9 Colour Set let you sample all the colours in the line without spending a lot of money. Great for students, artists on a budget, people new to mould making and casting, small projects and more.
Features
UVO colourants are highly concentrated, offer excellent dispersion and consistent colour. A very small amount will colour a proportionally large amount of liquid epoxy or urethane. The more you add in proportion to the volume of liquid material, the more dramatic the colour effect. Recommended loading range is .01% to 3% of total system weight. Do not overload the liquid system or cure inhibition / oozing may occur.
User determines amount to add: If this is your first time adding colour tint or pigment to an epoxy or urethane system, you may want to test the colour effect. Add a few drops to a small amount of material and observe the outcome. It may take a few test castings to attain the desired colour outcome. Important: Results may vary depending on UV resistance of epoxy or urethane product.
To get you started, we offer the following colourant loading levels. Results may vary.
By Weight Using A Gram Scale: Add UVO Pigment – 9 Colour Set at a ratio of between 0.01% – 3% of the total weight (Parts A + B mixed) of the material being cast. Concentrations above 1% yield a solid opaque colour. Adding more than 3% by weight may cause cure inhibition.
By Volume Measured In Drops: Add 10 drops of UVO per 88 ml of mixed material. If using a translucent material you can use 1 drop to maintain translucency of the material.
Directions For Use: Store and use at or near 23°C. Wear vinyl gloves to prevent skin contact. After dispensing the required amount of material Parts A and B into measuring containers, add colourant to Part B and mix thoroughly. Combine Parts A and B into a mixing container and mix as directed by the product technical bulletin.
Blending Colours: Combine different colours on a palette to create a custom colour before adding to material as directed above. Smooth-On offers colour guides as a general reference only and assumes no responsibility for colour accuracy or matching. Results will vary from one material to another. The end user is solely responsible for determining colour suitability and accuracy. Small scale testing is recommended.
