Transparent Color-Shifting Pigments for Resin Crafts

Do you wish to create layered color effects within transparent resin, yet worry that pigments might obscure underlying details or result in a cloudy finish? Choose to partner with FYOTEC's KalorFeel®. We have developed and manufacture transparent color-shifting pigments for resin crafts—ideal for creating miniature models, art installations, or designing handmade jewelry.

We offer a wide range of particle sizes as well as small-batch customization services, serving as the steadfast technical partner supporting the realization of your artistic vision.

Why Do You Need Transparent Color-Shifting Pigments for Resin Crafts?

1. Developed for Transparent Media

Leveraging advanced technology, FYOTEC's KalorFeel® has specifically optimized these pigments for transparent media—such as epoxy resin—striking a perfect balance between color vibrancy and transparency in the final display.

When embedded within a transparent resin layer, the pigments allow underlying details to remain visible while simultaneously generating soft fantasy glows or vivid color shifts, depending on the background color.

2. Excellent Media Compatibility and Stability

These transparent color-shifting pigments disperse uniformly within common creative media—such as epoxy resin and polyurethane—resisting sedimentation and clumping without interfering with the resin's curing process.

The colors remain stable and true within the medium, ensuring that the artist's creative vision is reproduced with absolute precision.

3. Comprehensive Range of Specifications

We offer a complete spectrum of particle sizes, ranging from fine powders (16–65 μm) to distinctive coarse flakes (0.1–10 mm).

Fine Powders: Ideal for creating smooth gradients and delicate fantasy effects.

Coarse Flakes: Perfect for generating intensely shimmering, three-dimensional textures, catering to diverse creative needs ranging from intricate miniature models to large-scale installation art.

4. Support for Small-Batch Orders and Customization Services

FYOTEC's KalorFeel® accommodates flexible orders involving small batches and a wide variety of products, and we are pleased to offer customized solutions regarding both color palettes and particle sizes.

What Precautions Should Be Taken When Using Transparent Color-Shifting Pigments?

1. Dispersion and Mixing

Transparent color-shifting pigments for resin crafts feature a delicate structure; therefore, vigorous grinding is strictly prohibited.

When working with media such as epoxy resins or polyurethanes, gentle manual stirring or low-speed mechanical mixing is recommended. You may first wet the pigment with a small amount of the medium (or the system's solvent) before mixing it into the main batch; continue dispersing until no pigment clumps remain.

When stirring, take care to avoid introducing excessive air bubbles.

2. Techniques for Controlling Visual Effects

To achieve the desired visual outcome, it is recommended to conduct small-scale tests based on the chosen background color.

If creating thick-pour castings, you may appropriately increase the viscosity of the medium or add a suitable amount of anti-settling agent to ensure the pigment remains evenly distributed.

3. Guidance on Particle Size Selection

Fine Particle Sizes (16–65 μm): Ideal for creating smooth gradients and delicate fantasy effects.

Coarse Flakes (0.1–10 mm): Capable of creating intense, shimmering textures.

Please select the appropriate particle size specifications based on your specific creative intent.

4. Recommended Addition Rates

The suggested addition rate is 0.5% to 3% of the total weight of the medium; this amount should be adjusted according to the desired pigment concentration.

Before beginning your project, please conduct a small-scale test batch to familiarize yourself with the color performance and to avoid adding too much pigment at once, which could result in an uncontrolled or undesirable effect.
