It has no negative effect on recyclability, physical
performance characteristics or color of the
recycled material.
Global formulations
Ultimate UV technology is formulated for global
use and can be used in combination with other
ColorMatrix colorant and additive solutions.
UV light can cause reactions in UV sensitive
food and beverages that result in changes in
taste, odor and texture, as well as degrading
colored dyes and pigments in plastic
packaging.

PRODUCT BULLETIN
Stan-Tone™ Colorants
Epoxy Paste Colorants (EPX)
Stan-Tone™ EPX epoxy paste colorants are select
organic and inorganic pigments dispersed in a
Bisphenol A undiluted epoxy resin with an epoxide
equivalent of 185.
The high pigment loading of these
colorants allows for excellent economics.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Intended for use in a variety of thermoset
epoxy systems
• Based on heat stability, lightfastness,
weatherability and toxicity
• Use level is 1%–2% for thick casting and
5%–10% for a thin coating
APPLICATIONS
Stan-Tone EPX dispersions are suitable for use
in a variety of applications, including:
• Protective coatings
• Adhesives
• Epoxy flooring
• Electrical potting
• Composites
• Laminates

Further,
the team developed a custom colorant that matched
the automaker’s interior color specs, and then
developed the final product so that the armrest could
be molded in color.
