Using Pigments for Clear Resin
Pigments for clear resin are coloring additives used to dye epoxy or polyurethane resins while maintaining the material's transparency. These pigments are particularly suitable for artistic projects, DIY jewelry, coatings, and design works where color is desired without compromising the resin's translucency. It is important to dose the pigments correctly to achieve the desired color without compromising the physical characteristics of the clear resin. Before using, it is advisable to perform mixing tests to evaluate the effect on the final results.
