Silc Pig silicone color pigments are used to color silicone rubber compounds, including translucent silicone series and platinum-cure silicone rubbers. Silc Pig pigments are also used to create realistic skin effects with compatible silicone paint and skin systems.
Silc Pig pigments are highly concentrated, offer excellent dispersion, and produce consistent color. A very small amount of pigment will color a proportionally large volume of silicone. Increasing pigment concentration produces more dramatic color effects.
Features
- Silc Pig pigments are highly concentrated, so small amounts produce strong color results when coloring silicone rubber products.
- Custom colors may be created by blending different Silc Pig pigments together.
Instructions
Silc Pig pigments are concentrated and should be used sparingly. The recommended loading range is 0.001% to 3% of the total silicone system weight.
Do not overload silicone rubber with pigment, as cure inhibition may occur.
Achieving precise color results may require trial-and-error testing. Small-scale testing is recommended before committing to large batches.
Pre-mix pigment thoroughly in its container, as settling may occur. Add pigment to Part A of the silicone rubber system and mix well before combining with Part B.
The Pantone Color Matching System is commonly used as a color reference, but represented colors are approximations. Color perception varies by individual, material, application method, and pigment concentration. The end user is responsible for determining color suitability. No warranty is provided for exact color matching.
