BJB 8105 Yellow Silicone Pigment 4oz

BJB 8100 series of liquid pigments are designed for use with all BJB silicone systems.

Silicone pigments allow for creating realistic looking props and special effects, matching skin tones for fake wounds or prosthetics, mould differentiation and prototyping.

These pigments are typically used by adding approximately 1-2% by weight of pigment to the material system.

Many silicones are translucent and will take on colour quickly and, in some cases, adding more pigment to a translucent silicone may cause it to become opaque. Filled silicones, that are opaque/white naturally, may require higher pigment loading to reach the same depth of colour as a translucent silicone. Always test a small sample of material to evaluate how it responds to pigmentation first.

Please review the below before adding pigment to a silicone system:

• Liquid pigments may have a negative effect on a material’s physical properties if too much pigment is added.
• When working from large containers it is advisable to only pigment the amount of material to be used, especially if more than 2% is added. Stored materials may have a shelf-life reduction due to pigmentation.
• The final hardness of a system may decrease due to pigmentation; the severity depends on pigment loading. In some materials, the change is permanent (5-10 points), and in others the hardness slowly increases to the expected value over time.
• Pigment may be added to the “A” component of the silicone system or the final A/B mixture.
