colorants
are binder and solvent-free pigment preparations of pourable and pumpable consistency based on copolymer and polymeric dispersing agents. The composition and manufacturing of each product allow them to be miscible in all proportions with each other and to be used either by unit of weight or by unit of volume.
are free from nonylphenol ethoxylates and glycol ethers and fullfils the requirements in accordance with the VOC- Directive 2004/42/CE , EU Ecolabel Decision 2002/739/EC, Blaue Engel (Germany) RAL-UZ 12a & 102 and NF (France) 376.
are resistant to drying out and suitable to be used either for In Plant Tinting or for Dosing dispensers. |

The weathering fastness tests have been carried out in a film forming resin system (PVC:40%). Assessment after 12 months open-air weathering (Mediterranean climate) compared with the 5-level ISO 'GreyScale for Assessing Change in Colour', for semi-mass tone and a 1/25 standard depth.
The light fastness tests have been carried out exposing sample for 1000 h with Atlas Weather-O-Meter 600 WRC in a film forming resin system (PVC:40%). Assessment after the test made with comparision of the 8-level ISO 'BlueScale for Assessing Change in Colour' (DIN 54003), for the semi-mass tone and a 1/25 standard depth.

Important Notice
Specifically for use in exterior coatings, select the appropriated pigment pastes.
The selection criteria are:
- Weather fastness property of the pigment paste (depending on the saturation level of the shade)
- Type of paint systems
- Market quality requirements
In order to choose the optimum tinting paste configuration please contact our colorist.
We recommend to use mainly oxide grades - references with 3 letters & 1 digit - in pure silicate and silicate emulsion paints due to high pH in wet phase and lack of protection of the pigment by a film forming system . (ex. Oxide blue C1-BO , Oxide yellow C2-YO)
By similarity, we recommend as well oxide grades in silicone resin systems due to high permeability of the paint film.
