Alumilite Resin Dyes - Now Called Polycolor
Please Note - 1 Gallon Dyes require extra handling time.
Use Alumilite dyes to add color to your casting resins! This concentrated dye can be added to clear resins to give your project a unique translucent look, used in epoxy for dynamic coatings, or used in opaque resin for solid bold colors.
Tips for Adding Alumilite Dye to Resin
- Use the smallest amount possible to achieve desired color (up to 5%)
- Alumilite Dye is very concentrated. In some instances it's necessary to use less than 1 drop to achieve color in small resin batch. This can be achieved by adding a spec of dye to the tip of a stir stick rather than dispensing into the resin.
- Opaque dyes contain fillers that may settle in the bottle. To maintain consistent color, agitate/stir prior to use.
Alumilite Translucent Dye Colors
Translucent dyes come in green*, yellow, red, blue, brown, orange, violet, and ocean blue.
*Note that Green translucent dye is not compatible with epoxy chemistry and will shift to a blue hue. This is due in part to chemistry, but also shift in hues (yellowing) over time of epoxy, causing changes in color.
Alumilite Opaque Dye Colors
Opaque colors include white, black, flo red, flo orange, flo yellow, flo green, flo pink, tan, beige, and dark brown. Some translucency can be achieved by adding an incredibly small amount of these dyes to clear resin.
