Proper Mixing of Color Boosters:
Color Boosters (CBs) are a very high concentration
of pigments with binder added to assist
in proper fusion of the product when mixed
with the Rutland base plastisols. As the
CBs are stored, some small amount of phase
separation may occur. Phase separation
is defined as liquid on the surface of
the plastisol. This is normal in highly
plasticized systems, however, since CBs
are highly loaded with pigments, where
slight differences could cause color
shift, we strongly suggest stirring the
Color Boosters completely just before
each use or at least once a week. This
will keep the pigment strength consistent
and allow you to produce more consistent
colors.Stirring can be accomplished by
hand in quarts and gallons and by a mechanical
mixer for 5-gallon pails. (A turnabout,
a drill mixer, shaker, etc.)
