Several aspects should be considered in the selection of PU color paste

- 2023-03-08-

1. Viscosity is an important indicator of color paste products. The most suitable viscosity range for PU color paste products is 2000--3000 mPa·s. Because experience shows that the fluidity and dispersion of colorants in this viscosity range are the most stable, suitable for manual operation and head mixing;
2. For the polyurethane industry, the ideal fineness range of the color paste is below 15 microns. If the fineness is too large, the pigment particles will have a "nucleation" effect during the foaming process of the product, thus affecting The structure of the cells, and the surface of the product will be rough at the same time, and the addition amount is increased due to the poor color development of the color paste;
3. The amount of color paste added should be controlled within 3% of the polyol, so that their influence on the formula can be ignored.

Although the color paste occupies a small position in the production of polyurethane products, its role cannot be ignored, and it is also a rigid requirement of many customers. Therefore, choosing a high-quality color paste is a strong guarantee for improving competitiveness.
