Custom Colors

Pigment pastes in this group are recommended for coloring polyester gelcoat and resins, pultrusion profiles, sheets and SMC-BMC dough pastes as well as coloring cellulosic, acrylic, polyurethane and epoxy resin systems given the necessary controls are made with these systems. Custom made colors can be prepared according to RAL, Pantone and NCS colors or from a 4x4cm sample. Since color pastes may have an adverse effect on viscosity, gel and cure time of gelcoats, you can get ready custom colored Polijel gelcoats from Poliya. (see page 82 for more information)

Color pastes can be adjusted according to RAL, Pantone, NCS standards and specific customer requirements.

Give us your color code. You can choose from RAL, Pantone or NCS Standard color codes.

For example RAL 5012 Lichtblau.

If you don’t have a color code and would like to match a specific color, you can send us a 4x4cm sample with the desired gloss value.

Colors can vary under different lighting conditions such as cool or warm light sources due to metamerism.

It is important to specify the main light source where the product is going to be used. Daylight D65 (default), LED (2700K warm or 7000K cold), fluorescent, CFL, incandescent, etc.

Now it is our turn!

We can prepare customized pigment pastes needs regarding UV resistance, heavy metal content and chlorine resistance for acrylic application (PMMA).

We can prepare your custom color pastes for SMC-BMC compounds.

We can prepare your custom color pastes for compounds produced by continuous lamination process.

After the initial color matching process, we save your color code in customer color database.

Repeating consistency. For example Polipigment A-2345 will be your assigned color code. Which makes it very easy to reorder the same color.
