Precautions for using PU Pigment

2023-12-27

When using PU pigments, here are some things to note:


Choose the appropriate PU pigment: Choose the appropriate pigment according to the desired effect and application scenario. PU pigments are often used for dyeing or coloring coatings, plastics, rubber and other materials.


Pre-testing: Before applying to a large area, it is recommended to conduct a small-scale test to ensure the compatibility of the pigment with the substrate and to determine whether the desired color effect is as expected.


Stir evenly: Before use, the paint needs to be stirred thoroughly to ensure that the color particles are evenly distributed.


Control the amount you add: Add pigment gradually according to the desired color saturation and depth, mixing thoroughly as you add. Excessive addition of pigment may affect the performance and quality of the material.


Pay attention to safety: Pay attention to personal protective measures when using, such as wearing gloves, goggles, etc., and avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. At the same time, operate in a well-ventilated environment to avoid inhaling pigment volatiles.


Storage and preservation: Unused paint needs to be stored and preserved. Seal the container as required to avoid moisture, deterioration or contamination of the paint.


Cleaning and maintenance: Clean tools and containers promptly after use to avoid pigment residues that may cause curing or color mixing problems.


Durability and light stability: Choose PU pigments with good durability and light stability, which can maintain bright colors for a long time and are not easy to fade or fade.
