Colorkast Resin Colorant - Signal Red Pigment (Paste-Style)

Colorkast Signal Red Pigment is a high-performance, "paste-style" resin colorant designed for the most impactful surfboard glassing. Named for its absolute clarity and "fire-engine" intensity, this professional-grade colorant is engineered to stay bold and bright. Unlike standard liquid dyes that can quickly fade or shift toward a duller pink over time, Colorkast’s premium paste formula is UV-stable and lightfast, maintaining its high-visibility punch for the life of the board.

This colorant offers total adaptability for custom builds: depending on the "color-load" added to your resin, you can achieve a striking transparent tint or a solid opaque pigment. As a Resin Tint, it creates a "colored glass" effect that allows the stringer and foam texture to shine through with a brilliant, ruby-like glow. Increasing the amount of paste transitions the mixture into an Opaque Pigment, providing a solid, high-impact color-block that is perfect for masking foam imperfections or creating classic, bold rail bands.

Colorkast paste-style colorants are highly concentrated and disperse quickly in both polyester and epoxy resins, ensuring a streak-free, uniform finish in the glassing bay.

Key Features:

• Paste-Style Formula: Superior pigment concentration compared to liquid dyes with maximum resistance to UV fading.
• High-Visibility Palette: Delivers a classic, aggressive "Signal Red" that stays vibrant in harsh marine environments.
• Variable Transparency: Effortlessly transition from a light "cherry" tint to a deep, solid "fire engine" red pigment.
• Professional Consistency: Formulated specifically for the surfboard industry to ensure a perfect resin cure and high-gloss finish.
• Resin Compatible: Works seamlessly with all standard laminating and surfacing resins.

Pro Tip: To achieve a perfectly flat "Signal Red" opaque finish, ensure your lamination is pulled tight to the foam. Because Red is a dominant pigment, any variation in resin thickness will appear as a darker "pool." A tight, even pull ensures a professional, uniform color from nose to tail.
