Recommendations:
The recommended temperature for manufacturing with pigment is about 180ºF, or 85ºC. Working at higher temperatures or prolonged exposure to heat can degrade the colors, causing fading or color alteration to appear.
Flake pigment should be stored under ambient conditions with containers kept closed. Each color should be packed separately from other colors.
IMPORTANT: We recommend using a UV inhibitor for all color applications! Ask your sales representative for more information.
