Pigment Paste

CHEMITONE^®Pigment Pastes are colored liquid/paste mediums based on pigments dispersed with monomer free/solvent free resin system. They are available in a wide range of colours varying in strength and consistency depending upon the particular colouring application. The binder in the Pigment Paste is specially developed monomer free/solvent free which can chemically cross links with the production/molding resin so that the colour is “locked-in” once the system has cured. The pigment paste can be use to colour most resin based systems within the UP Resin, Gelcoat, VE Resin, Epoxy, PU, Acrylics and some others industry.

Clear Gelcoats & Coloured Gelcoats (Ortho, ISO, ISO NPG, VE)

Gelcoat is a material used to provide a high-quality finishing on the visible surface of a fibre-reinforced composite parts. The most common gelcoats are thermosetting polymers based on epoxy or unsaturated polyester resin chemistry. Gelcoats are modified resins which are applied to moulds in the liquid state. They are cured to form crosslinked polymers and are subsequently backed with thermoset polymer matrix composites which are often mixtures of polyester resin and fiberglass.
This is usually pigmented to provide a colored, glossy surface which improves the aesthetic appearance of the article, such as the surface of a boat hull.
Many boats and construction parts using composite materials with an outer layer of gelcoat, typically 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm (0.02 in to 0.03 in) thick. Gelcoats are designed to be durable, providing resistance to ultraviolet degradation and hydrolysis.
