Characteristics
Mouldcraft™ Polyester
Colour Pastes are coloured liquid/paste mediums based on pigments
dispersed within a solvent-free reactive unsaturated polyester resin.
They are available in a wide range of colours varying in strength and
consistency depending upon the particular colouring application. They
have been developed to blend easily into resin systems. The range of
colours is based upon pigments carefully selected for colour
fastness, opacity, heat stability and having minimum effect upon the
curing characteristics of the final system. The resin used with the
Polyester Colour Paste is a specially developed solvent-free reactive
polyester resin which chemically cross links with the moulding resin
so that the colour is "locked in" once the system has
cured. They can be used to colour most polyester resinbased systems
used within the composites or related industry. Our Polyester Colour
Pastes have excellent stability.
Application
Mouldcraft™Polyester
Colour Pastes may be readily mixed directly with the polyester
gelcoat or layup resin using slow mechanical mixers or by hand. More
powerful mixing may be needed when used in filled systems. Generally
the amount of colour paste required to colour gelcoat to achieve good
hiding is 10% by WEIGHT not volume. Where the amount is to be
increased for whatever reason, seek approval from our technical
department for suitability of end application. A smaller addition
level of between 5 and 10% should be used for colouring layup
resins. When using black colour pastes, an addition level of 3%
by weight should be used (with the exception of PCP5989 and PCP3929
which should be used at the minimum recommended level). Accelerated
polyester resins coloured with PCP3602 and PCP3929 should be used
within 24 hours to avoid accelerator absorption on the colour paste.
For transparent colour pastes the amount required can vary from 1 -
3% depending upon the thickness of the moulding and depth of colour
required. In order to achieve a uniform finish with
polychromatic/metallic colour pastes, the use of spray polyester
gelcoats in recommended. Polychromatic/metallic Polyester Colour
Pastes should be mixed with gelcoat immediately prior to use. Only
mix sufficient for single batch production. Polychromatic/metallic
colour paste causes pre-gelation of gelcoat, therefore the mixed
gelcoat should be used within two hours of mixing. It is most
important to ensure that care is taken to avoid the use of different
colour paste batches on either single moulding or on mouldings which
are components of a larger structure. Every effort is made to reduce
batchto- batch variation. However, even when using state-of-the-art
colour matching instrumentation, small variances between batches can
occur
