White Pigment 4oz

Achieve a clean, uniform, and UV-resistant finish with WEST SYSTEM 501 White Pigment. Designed specifically for use with WEST SYSTEM epoxy, this high-solids color paste allows you to create an opaque coating that hides wood grain and surface imperfections in a single application.

Why Use 501 Pigment?

• Exceptional Opacity: Effectively masks repairs and underlying substrates, providing a consistent white base for painting or as a final decorative finish.

   

• Easy Integration: The paste consistency blends seamlessly into the resin/hardener mix without affecting the cured physical properties of the epoxy.

• UV Protection: Acting as a physical barrier, the pigment helps protect the epoxy from the damaging effects of sunlight, though a final coat of varnish or paint is still recommended for long-term exposure.

• Versatile Application: Ideal for everything from small bricolage (DIY/handyman) repairs to full-scale boat building and architectural coatings.

Application Tips

1. Mix Thoroughly: Always stir the resin and hardener together first before adding the pigment.

2. Ratio Matters: Use approximately one teaspoon of pigment per 8 fl oz of epoxy. Do not exceed 10% by weight to ensure the epoxy cures properly.

3. The "Crème" Finish: For the best results, apply multiple thin coats to avoid runs and ensure a smooth, professional finition (finishing touch).
