It is important to start by knowing what a pigment really is. \u201cA pigment is the substance used to colour a paint, a varnish, an enamel and so on. Its action occurs by modifying the colour of the light reflected, since it partially absorbs that shade and radiates another.\u201d\n\nStarting from this basis, there are many types of pigment. Among them we find, for example, mineral pigments used to prepare paints for walls and wood, or pigment pastes based on inorganic pigments, which are suitable for any surface and which you can find in the Pinturas Ecol\u00f3gicas catalogue.\n\nThese pigment pastes are based on inorganic pigments with a crystalline structure that allows the colours to \u201cvibrate\u201d and reflect colour in a way that is impossible for organic pigments with an amorphous structure. They are also resistant to light and alkalinity, so they can be used both indoors and outdoors.\n\nAt Pinturas Ecol\u00f3gicas we have a wide variety of tints and pigments used to colour all Colorea materials or similar. You can use them to tint lime mortars, pozzolanic cement mortars, potassium silicate mortars, waxes and more.\n\nWith them you can achieve perfect dispersion and mixing in mortars, skim coats and paints, avoiding the \u201cstreaks\u201d of poorly incorporated pigments. This means easier handling, which is a great advantage over inorganic powder pigments.\n\nIn addition, our tints and pigments can be mixed together to obtain new colours, so you have an infinite range of colours to choose from.\n\nWe recommend that you explore the colours in the catalogue on our website and let yourself be carried away by the whole colour range you can create from them. What are you waiting for?\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"itemFullText\">\n\n<hr \/>\n\n<h4>Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/definicion.de\/pigmento\/#:~:text=Pigmento%20es%20la%20sustancia%20que,dicha%20tonalidad%20e%20irradia%20otra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> definicion.de<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we want to introduce you to the wonderful world of pigments and tints.
