Emulsion Pigment Paste
What it is Emulsion Pigment Paste
Emulsion pigment paste is a ready-to-use liquid pigment concentrate developed primarily for water-based systems. It provides manufacturers with a convenient alternative to handling and dispersing dry pigment powders.
The paste contains pigment already dispersed in a suitable carrier system, allowing it to be added to compatible formulations with comparatively less processing effort.
How it works
Instead of first weighing, wetting, and dispersing dry pigment powder, the manufacturer can add the required quantity of pigment paste directly into a compatible paint or coating formulation.
During mixing, the pigment paste distributes throughout the formulation and provides the required color intensity. Proper compatibility between the pigment paste and the final formulation is important for achieving uniform color, stability, and performance.
Who uses it?
- Paint manufacturers – Use pigment pastes to efficiently produce colored water-based paints.
- Construction chemical companies – Add them to suitable construction and decorative formulations.
- Decorative coating manufacturers – Use them to produce consistent colors and decorative finishes.

Benefits of Emulsion Pigment Paste
- Easy mixing – The liquid concentrate can be incorporated into compatible formulations more conveniently than dry powders.
- Dust-free processing – Reduces the dust associated with handling dry pigment powders.
