Where Does Colorful Liquid Silicone Come From?

A wide array of liquid silicone colors is mainly attributed to the silicone coloring agent.

Dyeing agents primarily consist of silicone color paste and color cream. Depending on the desired color, a certain amount of color cream and color paste are added, mixed thoroughly, and the finished product becomes a colorful liquid silicone.

However, some people are caught up in the distinction between silicone color cream and silicone color paste. Is the difference really significant?

Let's not delve into the differences between silicone pigment paste and silicone pigment cream just yet; instead, I'd like to discuss their commonalities.

Color paste and color slurry are used for coloring liquid silicone, offering strong coloring power, stable coloring, and resistance to high and low temperatures, without easily fading.

Whether choosing dye paste or dye cream, both provide excellent coloring effects. Therefore, there's no need to worry about which one is better or which one has poorer quality. The coloring results are very good, with no flaws to point out.

Let's discuss the differences between the two.

Color paste contains less "moisture," presenting a paste-like consistency in its more primitive state. In contrast, color ink is derived from color paste by adding a certain proportion of silicone oil to it, which, after stirring, forms the color ink. It has more "moisture," yet it does not affect the coloring ability.

Generally speaking, the coloring of color paste tends to be slightly higher than that of color gel, as color gel lacks "moisture," while color paste is mixed from color gel and silicone.

The purity of the color paste should be higher, and the coloring power of the color slurry is also good. As for the choice, it depends on the actual situation. As long as the desired color can be mixed, whether it's silicone color paste or silicone color slurry, it doesn't matter much; there's no need to worry about it.
