Powder pigments add colour or reflective effects to compatible mixtures, allowing you to personalize casting materials, resins, or artist mediums. Unlike ready-to-use paint, pigment needs a suitable binder to adhere to a surface. Depending on its composition, it can produce opaque colour, a metallic sheen, or a pearlescent effect that shifts with the light. Results also depend on the background colour, the amount added, and the transparency of the mixture. When choosing a powder, check its recommended uses: pigments are not all suitable for the same resins, binders, or techniques. Follow the manufacturer’s mixing directions and make a sample to assess dispersion, reflective effects, and appearance after drying or curing. Adding more powder does not always strengthen the desired effect and can change the mixture’s properties. Handle powders carefully to avoid dispersing them into the air, and use the specified protective equipment. Find materials to combine in our resins and pigments collection, then compare more mixing and finishing options in our mediums, varnishes, and resins selection.
