Info
Pearl White mica powder gives clear epoxy resin a soft pearl white colour with a fine, pearlescent shimmer. It is a highly concentrated titanium mica pigment in a 20g jar that disperses easily into resin. Use it for pearl white geode edges, dusted moulds and shimmering river tables. Add a small amount to your mixed resin and build up gradually. A little goes a long way.

What Pearl White does in resin
Pearl white shimmer in resin
Pearl White adds a fine, pearlescent shimmer to clear epoxy resin rather than a flat block colour, and the shimmer deepens as you add more powder.
Dusted moulds
Brush a thin, even layer of dry Pearl White into a silicone mould before pouring clear resin over it, for a shimmering pearl white surface once demoulded.
Layered with pigment paste
For a solid pearl white base with shimmer on top, colour your resin with a pearl white pigment paste first, then stir in or dust on Pearl White.
Best for
Pearl white geode and agate art
Dusted moulds
River tables
Jewellery and coasters
How to colour epoxy resin with Pearl White mica powder
1
Mix your resin first
Measure your resin and hardener at the correct ratio and mix them thoroughly before adding any colour.
2
Add the mica gradually
Stir in a small amount of powder, mixing until there are no dry specks or clumps.
3
Build up the shimmer
Add more powder a little at a time until the shimmer is as strong as you want. You can always add more, but you can't take colour out.
4
Pour, or dust a mould first
Pour as normal within your resin's working time, or brush dry powder onto a mould before pouring clear resin over it for a dusted finish.
FAQs
Mica powder vs other colourants
vs pigment paste
Mica powder gives a pearly shimmer rather than a flat, solid colour. Choose pigment paste when you want strong, even coverage instead.
vs alcohol ink
Alcohol inks give transparent colour and are known to fade in sunlight. Pearl White is made with lightfast pigment.
vs acrylic paint
Acrylic paint contains water, which can interfere with curing and leave streaks. Mica powder 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 jar before use, because mica powder can settle over time.
