WEST SYSTEM 501-8 4oz WHITE PIGMENT EPOXY COLORANT/TINT BOAT  BUILDING / REPAIR

***THIS ITEM HAS NEVER BEEN OPENED

• AN EPOXY-BASED LIQUID COLORANT used to tint epoxy mixtures white, providing  an even color base for the final finish system. Colored surfaces also tend  to highlight flaws and imperfections, making it easier to spot and correct  them.
• ADD TO MIXED EPOXY resin/hardener at a rate of approximately one teaspoon of  pigment to 8 fl oz of epoxy. More pigments will increase opaqueness and  mixture viscosity. One 4 fl oz bottle will tint approximately 1.5 gal of  epoxy. To make a tinted filling putty, add 406 Colloidal Silica to pigmented  epoxy.
• USE PIGMENT IN EPOXY to make colored castings, highlight an epoxy-coated  surface, act as a colored base coat for paint, etc. Add pigment to epoxy in  very small amounts, about 5% by weight. Thin films of colored epoxy are  somewhat transparent. It usually takes several coats of pigmented epoxy to  make an epoxy coating opaque.
• PIGMENT IS SUSPENDED in an epoxy resin base which allows it to blend  thoroughly into the epoxy to make very uniform colors. Because the pigment  has an epoxy resin base, it is important not to add more than the  recommended amount (5% by weight). Excessive pigment could alter the epoxy's  resin/hardener ratio, compromising cured epoxy performance.
• EPOXY COATINGS that will be exposed to sunlight, even if pigmented, will  need protection from UV light in order to last for many years. Opaque paints  or other UV-filter coatings are sufficient to prevent UV degradation after  your epoxy coats have cured.

**Adding pigment to epoxy should, like everything in life, be done in  moderation. Without exception, adding pigment to WEST SYSTEM Epoxy will weaken  the cured mixture to some degree. Because of this, we suggest you use very small  amounts of pigment, about 5% by weight. As a result, thin films of colored epoxy  are somewhat transparent. It usually requires several coats to make the film  opaque.
