Info
Titanium White epoxy pigment paste turns clear epoxy resin into a solid, opaque white. It is a highly concentrated, lightfast titanium white pigment (PW6) in a 30mL jar, and it disperses easily in epoxy resin and in Solid Cast 660 Polyurethane Casting Resin. Use it for lacing and cells in ocean resin art, solid white castings and white veining in river tables. Add 2–5% to your mixed resin. A little goes a long way.

What Titanium White does in resin
Lacing and cells for ocean resin art
Titanium white is a heavy pigment, so white resin sinks into the wet layer beneath it. Warm it with a heat gun and it spreads, thins and breaks open into the lacing and cells that look like sea foam.
- Pour your ocean colours first and keep them wet.
- Lay a thin line of white-tinted resin along the wave edge.
- Push it across with a heat gun on medium. Keep the gun moving, because overheated white can scorch and turn yellow.
- For sharper wave lines, let the mixed resin sit and thicken for about 15 minutes before you pour the white.
Solid white castings and coatings
Dose close to 5% for a fully opaque, solid white in moulds, coasters, trays and coated surfaces.
River tables
Pour a solid white river or add marble-style white veining through a coloured pour in River Resin Deep Cast Epoxy. Test on an offcut first, because the timber colour changes how the white reads.

How to colour epoxy resin white
1
Stir the paste
Pigment can settle in the jar over time, so stir it before each use.
2
Mix your resin first
Measure your resin and hardener at the correct ratio and mix them thoroughly before adding any colour.
3
Add the paste a little at a time
Start at about 2% and work up to 5% at most. You can always add more, but you can't take colour out.
4
Mix until even
Mix until the colour is completely even, scraping the sides and base of the cup.
5
Pour
Pour as normal. Viscosity varies from colour to colour across the range because each pigment is different.
Stay within 5%. Too much pigment can leave the resin soft or tacky.
FAQs
Not suitable for UV resin. Epoxy pigment paste is not designed for UV resin.
Pigment paste vs other colourants
vs mica powder
Pigment paste gives a solid, flat colour. Mica powder gives a pearly shimmer rather than a flat colour. Choose paste when you want strong, even colour.
vs alcohol ink
Alcohol inks give transparent colour and are known to fade in sunlight. Titanium White is a solid colour made with lightfast pigment.
vs acrylic paint
Acrylic paint contains water, which can interfere with curing and leave streaks. Pigment paste is made to mix into resin.
Safety & storage
Protection
A mask and protective wear must be worn at all times.
Ventilation
Use in a well-ventilated area only.
Storage
Store the jar sealed, in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
Before each use
Stir the paste, because pigment can settle in the jar.
