What is Epoxy Powder Used For?

Epoxy powder has a multitude of uses, making it a favourite among crafters and DIY enthusiasts. The primary purpose of this pigment powder is to add colour to epoxy resin, transforming the otherwise clear substance into a vibrant medium for various creative applications. Here are some popular uses for epoxy powder:

• Resin Art - Artists use epoxy powder to create stunning resin art pieces. From abstract designs to intricate, detailed creations, the pigment enhances the aesthetic appeal of the artwork with its vivid hues and smooth blending capabilities.

• Jewellery Making - Epoxy powder is a staple in the world of jewellery making. It allows creators to craft custom pendants, earrings, and bracelets with captivating colours and finishes. Whether you’re looking for a metallic sheen, pearlescent glow, or matte effect, pigment powders offer endless possibilities.

• Home Décor - Resin projects for home décor, such as coasters, trays, and table tops, benefit greatly from epoxy powder pigments. They add a touch of sophistication and uniqueness to everyday items, making them both functional and decorative.

• River Tables - River tables have become increasingly popular, and epoxy powder is a key ingredient in creating their signature look. The pigment allows for the creation of mesmerising river-like designs, adding depth and dimension to the finished piece.

• Moulded Items - From keychains to figurines, pigment powders are used to add colour to resin pieces cast in moulds. This versatility allows crafters to produce unique and personalised items for gifts or sale.

How to Use Epoxy Powder?

Using epoxy powder pigment is straightforward, even for beginners. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure you achieve the best results:

1. Gather Your Materials - You’ll need epoxy resin, the chosen pigment powder, mixing tools, and the mould or surface you’ll be working on. Ensure your workspace is clean and free from dust.
2. Prepare the Resin - Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to mix the epoxy resin. Typically, this involves combining resin and hardener in a precise ratio. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure it’s well-blended.
3. Add the Pigment Powder - Once the resin is mixed, slowly add the epoxy powder pigment. Start with a small amount and gradually increase until you achieve your desired colour intensity. Hemway powders are highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way.
4. Mix Thoroughly - Stir the pigment into the resin until it is completely dissolved. Ensure there are no lumps or streaks for a smooth and consistent colour.
5. Pour and Cure - Pour the coloured resin into your mould or onto your chosen surface. Allow it to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid moving or disturbing the resin during the curing process to maintain a flawless finish.

How Much Pigment Powder to Add to Epoxy Resin?

Determining the right amount of pigment powder to add to epoxy resin depends on the effect you wish to achieve. As a general guideline, we recommend using 5% pigment powder by weight of the resin mixture. For example, if you are using 100g of resin and hardener combined, you should add approximately 5g of pigment powder.

For a lighter, more translucent finish, reduce the amount of pigment powder. Conversely, if you desire a bold, opaque colour, you can increase the ratio slightly. It’s always best to add the powder gradually and test the colour as you mix to avoid over-saturating the resin.

Keep in mind that different projects may require different pigment concentrations. Experimentation is key to finding the perfect balance for your specific needs.
