Aquarius Water-Based Orange Mixing Pigment Concentrate - 1kg
Highly concentrated orange pigment concentrate designed for use with Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based bases, providing strong color development and precise custom color mixing for textile screen printing.
Characteristics
The Zodiac™ Aquarius™ Water Base Orange Mixing Pigment Concentrate is a highly concentrated universal pigment formulated for use with the Aquarius water-based ink system. It provides screen printers with a vibrant orange color component for producing custom shades and matching production colors when blended with compatible Aquarius bases.
Designed specifically as a mixing pigment rather than a standalone printing ink, Orange Pigment Concentrate should be incorporated into an appropriate Aquarius base before printing. This concentrated format allows printers to control pigment loading while maintaining the performance characteristics of the selected base.
The Aquarius system is a non-PVC water-based ink platform covering high-solids, soft-base, discharge, specialty, and related textile-printing applications. Orange Pigment Concentrate can be incorporated into compatible Aquarius formulations to expand the available color range and support precise custom color development.

Aquarius Water Base Orange Mixing Pigment Concentrate is designed to be incorporated into an appropriate Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based printing base. The selected base determines the finished ink's printing characteristics, opacity, hand, specialty properties, and curing requirements.
Any additional modifiers or additives should be selected according to the recommendations for the specific Aquarius base and printing application. Do not exceed the recommended pigment or additive loading for the finished ink system.
- Thoroughly mix the Orange Pigment Concentrate before use.
- Accurately weigh the pigment concentrate and Aquarius base when preparing custom colors.
- Add the Orange Pigment Concentrate to the selected compatible Aquarius base.
- Mix thoroughly until the pigment is completely dispersed and the color is uniform.
- Use accurate weighing equipment when creating repeatable production colors.
- Record pigment-to-base ratios for future batches and repeat production.
- Do not exceed the recommended pigment loading for the specific Aquarius base being used.
- Follow the printing, mesh, additive, and curing recommendations for the selected Aquarius base.
- Always perform a test print before beginning a full production run.
- Verify finished color, curing, adhesion, wash durability, and garment compatibility before production.
Zodiac™ Aquarius™ Water Base Orange Mixing Pigment Concentrate is a concentrated colorant and is not intended to be used as a standalone finished printing ink. It should be incorporated into an appropriate compatible Aquarius water-based base before printing.
Final printing characteristics—including opacity, hand feel, discharge properties, specialty effects, mesh requirements, curing parameters, adhesion, and wash durability—depend on the Aquarius base and other components used in the finished formulation.
Maximum pigment loading can vary depending on the Aquarius base being used. Always follow the applicable technical recommendations and pigment-loading limits for the selected ink system.
Excessive pigment loading may negatively affect printability, curing, adhesion, wash durability, and other performance characteristics of the finished ink.
Always test the complete formulation on the intended garment before beginning production, particularly when changing pigment concentration, substrate, base, mesh, additives, or curing conditions.
