Dyes for plaster and acrylic resin

Instantly give porcelain plaster and A1 acrylic resin the perfect shade with professional dyes, pigments, and effect powders . Ideal for body casting, sculpture, décor, and props. Easy to apply, high opacity, and consistent results.

⚠️ Caution: Some pigments and powders may discolor skin and clothing. Wear gloves, work in a well-ventilated area, and clean tools immediately.

Why choose our dyes?

Intense colors

Lightfast colours with even distribution in plaster and acrylic resin for consistent results.

Easy to mix

Predictable dosing and repeatable shades for professional applications.

Metal effects

From solid color to authentic metallic effects and patina for unique finishes.

Widely applicable

Suitable for body casting, art, industry and compatible with A1 acrylic resin and porcelain plaster.

Processing & tips

Dosage & mixing

  • Acrylic resin: usually 0.5 to 5 percent color paste by total weight for saturated shades
  • Plaster: add pigments drop by drop or in powder form to the mixing water for an even color
  • Mixing technique: mix gently to minimize air inclusions, work cleanly, and weigh consistently

Effects & finishing

  • Metal effect: mix iron or aluminium powder into the mass, sand lightly after hardening and patinate if desired
  • Surface finish: prime with black for better coverage, then apply gilding wax sparingly and polish.

Always check the product TDS and SDS for exact dosages, pot life, and safety instructions.

Compatibility & considerations

Acrylic resin (A1)

Water-based system, compatible with A1 color pastes and many inorganic powders. Too much pigment can affect strength and curing.

Plaster

Dyes can affect processing time. Start with a low dose and build up to the desired intensity.

Primers & wax

Apply primer to a dry, dust-free surface. Let the primer dry before applying gilding wax .

Sealers

For stain resistance and color retention, a sealer or topcoat may be desirable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much color paste do I add to acrylic resin?

Start with 0.5 to 1 percent by weight and gradually increase to a maximum of approximately 5 percent. Too much pigment can affect strength and curing. Check the TDS.

Can I colour porcelain plaster all the way through?

Yes, mix pigment into the mixing water for an even base shade. Work cleanly and weigh accurately for reproducible results.

How do I create a realistic metallic effect in acrylic resin?

Mix iron or aluminum powder into the mass, sand lightly after curing and apply a patina or sealer if desired.

Does color affect curing time?

High pigment loading can affect curing and viscosity. Always test a small batch and monitor the total dissolved solids content.

Why prime black before applying gilding wax ?

A dark background increases contrast and accentuates metallic highlights, making the effect appear deeper and richer.
