Today we want to introduce you to the wonderful world of pigments and dyes. It’s important to start by knowing what a pigment actually is. “A pigment is the substance used to color a paint, a varnish, an enamel, etc… Its action occurs when the color of the reflected luminosity is modified, since it partially absorbs this shade and radiates another.”
On this basis, there are pigments of numerous types. Among them we find, for example, mineral pigments that are used to prepare paints for walls and wood or pigment pastes that are based on inorganic pigments, which are suitable for any surface and that you can find in the Ecological Paints catalog.
These pigment pastes are based on inorganic pigments with a crystalline structure that allows the colors to “vibrate” and reflect the color in a way that is impossible for organic pigments with an amorphous structure. They are also resistant to light and alkalinity, therefore, they are for both indoor and outdoor use.
At Pinturas Ecológicas we have a wide variety of dyes and pigments that are used for the coloring of all Colorea or similar materials. You can use them for the dyeing of lime mortars, pozzolanic cement mortars, potassium silicate mortars, waxes…
With them, perfect dispersion and mixing can be achieved in mortars, plasters and paints, avoiding “bursts” of poorly incorporated pigments. This means better handling, so it is a great advantage over powdered inorganic pigments.
In addition, our dyes and pigments can be mixed together to obtain new colors, so you have an infinite range of colors to choose from.
We recommend that you research the colours in the catalogue on our website and that you let yourself be carried away by the entire chromatic range that you can create from them. What are you waiting for?
