MAX YELLOW
CONCENTRATED COLOR DISPERSION
Yellow Color Pigment Paste For Epoxy Resin Systems
MAX COLOR Dispersion are concentrated color additives used to tint and color epoxy resin systems.
It is a highly concentrated paste that exhibits strong color saturation and excellent color fastness.
MAX COLOR Dispersion is comprised of high-quality powder color pigments dispersed in an epoxy resin binder.
It is processed through chromium hardened grind roller mill for absolute dispersion and color uniformity.
This special processing breaks down pigment agglomerates into individual submicron particles. Special additives are also added to prevent agglomeration and to increase opacity and color quality.
MAX COLOR Dispersion are a smooth workable paste that are 100 percent reactive and compatible with all epoxy resin systems. It will not reduce or alter the gloss of the epoxy resin or other mechanical properties.
MAX COLOR Dispersion will not leach or bleed off making it suitable for protective, decorative coatings and casting applications. MAX COLOR Dispersion is an excellent additive to enhance overall UV resistance properties.
MAX COLOR Dispersion can be used in any of our MAX Epoxy Resin System.
Add MAX COLOR Dispersion to the Resin component and mix until the paste is completely incorporated.
It is highly concentrated so a 3% addition to a clear epoxy system will produce translucent to opaque color density.
This 8-ounce kit will tint up to a gallon of epoxy resin to an opaque color.
It can be blended with other MAX COLOR Dispersion to create any desired colors. Additions of greater than 5% to the epoxy resin will require adjustment of the curing agent mix ratio.

ALL OF OUR MAX COLOR DISPERSION ARE SILICONE ADDITIVE OR SURFACTANT-FREE THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH ADHESION.
This process also ensures a homogeneous dispersion of the color pigment with the epoxy binder.
All Color Concentrates Are Tested For Fineness Of Grind, Dispersion And Opacity
Hegman Fineness of Grind Gauge measure the particle size of a pigment particle from 100 to 0 microns.
Use a digital scale and take note proportions for color repeatability and making large batches.
- Warm the resin component or part a and pigment concentrate to 100°F.
- Pour all of the resin in an appropriate size container.
- Use a variable speed mixer and an impeller/disperser to uniformly disperse the MAX COLOR CONCENTRATE into the resin or PART A first.
- Engage the mixer under slow speed using an impeller.
- For high color opacity, add at least 20% of CALCIUM CARBONATE.
- Turn the mixer off and add a small amount of max colorant and mix until uniform.
- To add more colorant, turn off the mixer first and then add the colorant.
- Mix until a homogenous color consistency is achieved.
- Allow the mixture to rest for 24 hours to allow any air bubbles to degas.
- Re-warming the mixture will accelerate degassing.
- Do not add the curing agent to the warm resin. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Some phase separation may occur if the resin is allowed to sit for more than 24 hours.
- Adjust the mix ratio based on the amount of calcium carbonate added to the mixture.
Reduce the curing agent by weight by 15% if the added weight of calcium carbonate is also 15%. Higher loading of the calcium carbonate, up to 50% by weight can be added but it will significantly increase the viscosity and density as well as extend the cure time.
SAMPLE OPAQUE COLOR | Parts in Grams | |
MAX CLR Part A Resin Component | 80.0 grams | |
MAX COLOR PIGMENT PASTE (any color) | 5.0 grams | |
CALCIUM CARBONATE (optional, for deep opacity) | 15.0 grams | |
PART A Total | 100.0 grams | |
Blend the first three components together until homogenous and set aside for 2 to 4 hours and allow mixed in air bubbles to outgas. | ||
The mix ratio of the MAX CLR is 200:100 or 2:1 based on unfilled state. The mix ratio based on weight only. | ||
| ||
MAX CLR Part B Curing Agent | PART B Total | 40.0 grams |
Total | 140 grams | |
Adjust the batch size accordingly. The amount of calcium carbonate can be adjusted up to 50% of the resin component. Just make sure to keep the PART A to PART B mix ratio at a constant 2:1. | ||
Adding the MAX PIGMENT PASTE and CALCIUM CARBONATE to the resin component (PART A) will form a more stable mixture. The curing agent is very hygroscopic and should be kept sealed away from humidity until needed.
Dry fillers such the calcium carbonate will typically retain a small amount of moisture, about 2 to 3% and when added to the resin component or PART A, which is hydrophobic, the moisture from the filler will be displaced.
This technique will prevent any blushing from moisture contamination.

PLEASE INQUIRE IF YOU REQUIRE FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING
THIS PRODUCT'S USAGE AND OTHER INCORPORATION TECHNIQUE.
Please review the instructions before using this product.
As with any color coating application, some understanding of Color Theory must be observed.
To achieve the desired tint hue and color saturation, make a small batch first, use a scale to weigh the color accurately, and concentrate as accurately as possible on achieving color reproduction when making the masterbatch. All modification is done on the PART A or resin component only.
HUES TINTS SHADES AND TONES
These are the purest and brightest colors.They form the full spectrum of colors which progress around the Primary Color Wheel in gradual increments.TINTS
A Tint is sometimes called a Pastel. It's simply any color with white added. A color scheme using Tints is soft, youthful and soothing.Tints would work well in in a girl's room or for a website targeted to women.
SHADES
A Shade is simply any color with black added. Shades are deep, powerful and mysterious.They work well in a masculine environment and are best used as dark accents.TONES
Color Tone is created by adding both White and Black. Any color that is "grayed down" is considered a Tone. Tones are somehow more pleasing to the eye. They are complex, subtle and sophisticated and the best choice for most interior decorating and work well in almost any color scheme.
