EMS pearl pigments are a favourite among resin artists for their vibrant colour, brilliant shimmer, and excellent suspension in epoxy. Whether you're creating river tables, wall art panels, countertops, jewellery, or decorative castings, our mica-based pigments disperse smoothly and remain stable through the full cure cycle. Made from natural Indian mica and manufactured in Bangalore, EMS pigments are available in silver, gold, interference, coloured, and metallic variants to suit every creative application.
Pearl pigment powder mixes easily into epoxy resin. Follow these steps for best results:
Tip: For a flowing, multi-colour effect (like an ocean pour), prepare 3–4 separate batches of resin with different EMS pigments and pour them in layers or side-by-side. The pigments do not intermix aggressively, allowing you to control the swirl.
All EMS pearl pigments work beautifully in epoxy resin. These are the most popular choices for different resin art styles:
How much pearl pigment do I mix into epoxy resin?
Use 1–5% pearl pigment by weight of the mixed resin. For a subtle shimmer, use 1–2%. For a vivid, saturated pearl, use 3–5%.
Will pearl pigment affect the curing of epoxy?
No. EMS pearl pigments are inert mica powders that do not interfere with epoxy curing chemistry at recommended loading levels (under 5%).
Can I mix multiple EMS pigments together in one pour?
Yes. EMS pigments blend well with each other. Test your blend in a small cup before committing to a large pour to check the final colour.
Can pearl pigment be used in UV resin?
Yes. EMS pigments work in UV resin as well as epoxy resin. Use 1–3% loading as UV resin layers are typically thinner.
Do EMS pigments settle to the bottom of resin?
Some settling can occur in slow-cure resins. To minimise this, use a resin with higher viscosity or pour in thinner layers. Finer particle sizes (EMS100 series at 10–60 microns) suspend more evenly.
