Amine hardener compatibility
Pigments must not react with amine or polyamide curing agents, avoiding shade shift, cure inhibition or seeding in the reactive epoxy system.
Applications
Pigments for Epoxy Flooring
Pigment recommendations for epoxy flooring with technical checks and export enquiry support.
Epoxy flooring cures through reactive amine chemistry with exotherm, so pigments must be alkali-stable, non-reactive with hardeners, and free of moisture or amine sensitivity that causes shade drift or slow cure. Source From India supplies epoxy-grade organics, often as pre-dispersed pastes in compatible carriers, for self-leveling and coating floors. Buyers should confirm compatibility with amine and polyamide hardeners, resistance to yellowing under UV where daylight reaches the floor, chemical and abrasion durability, and clean dispersion without seeding in high-solids systems. Ready pastes ensure uniform color across large poured areas with minimal on-site mixing error.

What Pigments for Epoxy Flooring covers
Alkali and chemical resistance
Industrial floors face cleaners and spills, so pigments need alkali stability and chemical fastness to hold color under aggressive service conditions.
UV yellowing awareness
Standard epoxy yellows outdoors, so where daylight reaches floors we advise stable pigments and note the binder's own yellowing tendency.
Pre-dispersed paste dosing
Ready pigment pastes give uniform color across large self-leveling pours and reduce on-site mixing error and streaking in poured floors.

Answers
Pigments for Epoxy Flooring — frequently asked questions
Why must pigments suit amine-cured epoxy?
Epoxy floors cure with amine or polyamide hardeners that can react with sensitive pigments, causing color shift or interfering with cure. We select non-reactive, alkali-stable grades proven in reactive epoxy systems, so poured floors reach full cure and hold their intended shade uniformly across the slab.
Will epoxy flooring colors yellow over time?
The epoxy binder itself tends to yellow under UV, separate from the pigment. Where floors get daylight we recommend UV-stable pigments and often a suitable topcoat, and we advise buyers that binder yellowing, not just pigment fade, affects perceived long-term color.
Do you supply pigment pastes for flooring?
Yes. Pre-dispersed pastes in epoxy-compatible carriers give consistent color and cut on-site mixing errors across large self-leveling pours. This reduces streaking and shade variation between batches, which matters most for expansive continuous floors where color uniformity is highly visible.
How do pigments hold up to floor chemicals and traffic?
Industrial floors meet cleaning agents, oils and abrasion, so pigments need chemical and alkali fastness while the resin provides wear resistance. We recommend robust organic grades that keep color under spills and traffic, matched to the service environment the floor will face.
