Epoxy Pigment Calculator

The Epoxy Pigment Calculator is designed to help you determine the precise amount of pigment needed when mixing epoxy resin for your projects. This tool simplifies the calculation process by taking into account the volume of epoxy and the desired pigment concentration, resulting in the required pigment amount in grams.

How It Works

The formula used to determine the amount of pigment required is:

\[ \text{Required Pigment (g)} = \text{Epoxy Volume (L)} \times \left(\frac{\text{Pigment Percentage}}{100}\right) \times 1000 \]

Example Calculation

For an epoxy volume of 2 liters and a pigment percentage of 5%, the required pigment would be:

\[ \text{Required Pigment} = 2 \times \left(\frac{5}{100}\right) \times 1000 = 100 \text{ grams} \]

Common FAQs

1. Why is pigment calculated in grams?

   • Pigment is typically added in small amounts, and grams provide the necessary precision for accurate mixing.

2. What pigment percentage should I use?

   • The typical range is between 2% and 10%, but this depends on the desired opacity and color intensity.

3. Can I use this calculator for other resin types?

   • Yes, this calculator can be used for any resin or liquid that requires pigment mixing based on volume and concentration.
