Transparent colours in a tinted glass effect. For Business and Professional Use.
Before we created our coloured resins used with castings, we first developed our crystal clear transparent resin so that our coloured resins would result in beautiful and crystal clear colours likes blue water (Azzurro), rich golds, and intense browns. The end result was a perfect union of clear resin and amazing colours.
The combination of a tinted resin with encased materials like wood creates an instant visual impact that allows the eye to see the interaction of the coloured resin with the inserted object.
Our coloured resins use a special dye that was tested to be suitable for use in castings of Low, Medium, and High thickness resins.

Coloured epoxy resin with inserted objectsThe coloured dyes used in our resins are different from other inks because they react with a hardener that results in a hard surface. This is unlike other inks that can soften the surface or create defects.
The amount of tinting dyes needed will depend on the intensity of the colour you want to achieve. In general, the thicker the mold or casting, the smaller amount of tinting dyes are needed to make the final colour. For a thickness of 2 to 3 cm, we suggest to use about 2% of the dye, but this can be changed to make your desired colour.
The pigments developed by Cromas are vivid colours that allow you to create unique colour shades:
91007 ULTRAMARINE BLUE
91008 SOLAR YELLOW – Ideal for making gold effects
91013 SCARLET RED – Extremely vivid and transparent
91019 AQUAMARINE – Ideal to make water colours
91020 SMOKY QUARTZ – Black pigment that is ideal for Burnished and Smoked effects
91023 AMBER BROWN – Warm brown colour
These pigments can be used alone or mixed together to obtain new colours, such as green and purple.
These coloured resins can also be used to make multicoloured castings where you see the unmixed colours in layers.

The mixing of coloured pigments or dyes with epoxy resins is a simple process for professionals, crafts people, and DIY users. But we recommend that you always carry out application tests before the production of products or starting the project.
We suggest that you refer to the instructions in the technical data sheet for the resins you will use in your application. Our advice is based on our extensive research and testing. Because there are many factors in the applcation process, it is always advisable to test each product before moving on to the production stage.
