CULR Set of 10 Colour Pigments

CULR Universal Pigments are highly concentrated liquid pigments and can be used to add anywhere between a subtle, translucent tint to solid opaque colour to epoxy resin projects such as resin art, countertops, jewellery, flooring, pen blanks and much more.

This set of 10 'foundation' colours have been carefully selected to create a colour toolkit from which just about any other colour or shade can be created. Simply blend a couple of drops of one CULR with a few drops of another to create the perfect colour or tone for your project.

These 10 colour sets contain:
Cosmic Purple, Indigo Blue, Topaz Green, Leaf Green, Milk Choc Brown, Tangy Yellow, Tomato Red, Fuchsia Pink, Jet Black, Super White

The kit is available in sets of 10x 20ml bottles - suitable for most art and craft users, and a large 10x 200ml set recommended for trade users and professional installers. Choose the required kit size from the drop-down list at the top of the page.

Super Concentrated

CULR pigments are one of the most concentrated resin pigments you can buy and the advanced liquid formula ensures that these intense pigments disperse in seconds.

For solid colours, up to 5kg (5 litres) of epoxy resin can be coloured using a single 20ml bottle of CULR pigment.

For a translucent colour tint, much less pigment is required. A single 20ml bottle is enough to produce a see-through colour tint in more than 50kgs of resin!

Pigmenting for Primer Coats

When using CULR pigments to create a highly opaque ‘primer coat’ in projects such as resin countertops, a very high pigment ratio of 10% should be used. Such a high ratio will ensure the very strong, opaque colour necessary to block-out existing countertops or textures of wood substrates below.

The ratio of 10% pigment to resin is especially important if using light colours like Super White or metallic CULR pigments.

We have not tested blending the CULR pigments with other pigment brands and types and although in many cases it may work, we would recommend testing specifically to ensure there is not a compatibility issue with another brand of pigment.

Hoe te gebruiken

CULR™ pigments are super-easy to use; just drip the desired amount of any colour into either mixed resin and hardener or into just the resin side only (if you want to pigment the resin in advance of using it).

Depending on the strength of the colour required and the actual colour you’re using, you’ll need between 0.1% and 1% of pigment. The tables below provide an easy reference as to how much pigment to add or simply keep adding drops until you get the desired colour strength. Remember that CULR pigments are super-concentrated and so you only need a tiny amount to achieve stunning, vivid colours.

Pigment Ratio Guide

For Most Colours:

For Red, Yellow and White

Some of the bright colours (such as Tangy Yellow and Tomato Red) are so pure and bright that they will remain slightly translucent, even at higher concentrations. To make these colours opaque, simply add a small amount of Super White.

Compatibility

CULR pigments are designed specifically for use with clear epoxy resins. They have been thoroughly tested with the GlassCast range of casting and coating resins but should also work with most other clear epoxy systems, although we always recommend conducting a test first.

CULR pigments are not suitable for use with alternative resin types such as polyurethane.
