What Are Epoxy & Concrete Pigments?
Pigments for Concrete and Epoxy Floors are concentrated colorants formulated to mix seamlessly into liquid coatings or concrete overlays. They provide uniform color throughout the coating while maintaining the performance characteristics of the base material.
Common pigment formats include:
- Liquid pigments for easy blending and consistent color
- Universal pigments compatible with epoxy, polyaspartic, and urethane systems
- Concrete-specific pigments for overlays, microtoppings, and cement-based coati

Choosing the Right Pigment for Your Project
When selecting pigments for concrete or epoxy floor paint, consider:
- Coating Type – Epoxy, polyaspartic, urethane, or cement-based
- Pigment Format – Liquid vs. powder (when applicable)
- Mix Ratio – Manufacturer-recommended pigment load for proper cure
- Color Opacity – Full-coverage solids vs. translucent effects
- Application Area – Interior vs. exterior exposure
Using the correct pigment ensures color stability, proper curing, and a professional finish.
FAQ
Yes. These pigments are specifically formulated for use in epoxy floor coatings and epoxy floor paint systems. When mixed at the manufacturer-recommended ratios, they disperse evenly throughout the epoxy resin, providing consistent color without compromising adhesion, strength, or durability. Proper mixing ensures a uniform, professional-looking epoxy floor finish for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Many of our pigments are universal colorants and are compatible with polyaspartic and urethane concrete coating systems. Polyaspartic coatings require precise pigment loading, so it’s important to follow product guidelines to maintain fast cure times and optimal performance. Always confirm compatibility when working with high-speed or UV-stable coating systems.
Pigment ratios vary depending on the epoxy or concrete coating system being used, but most epoxy floor paint formulations require a measured amount of pigment per gallon. Adding too little pigment may result in poor coverage, while over-pigmenting can affect curing, hardness, and long-term durability. For best results, follow the coating manufacturer’s pigment load recommendations.
Yes. Concrete pigments are commonly used in overlays, microtoppings, and cement-based concrete coatings to achieve consistent, integrally colored surfaces. These pigments are designed to blend evenly into the mix, producing uniform color throughout the overlay rather than just on the surface, which helps reduce visible wear over time.
High-quality epoxy and concrete pigments offer excellent color stability when properly installed and maintained. Factors such as UV exposure, coating type, and topcoat selection all influence long-term color retention. For exterior or sun-exposed floors, using UV-resistant coatings and sealers can significantly reduce fading.
When used at proper ratios, pigments do not weaken epoxy floor coatings or reduce adhesion to concrete. Issues typically arise only when excessive pigment is added, which can interfere with the chemical reaction during curing. Staying within recommended pigment loads ensures optimal performance and durability.
Custom color matching may be available depending on the pigment system and coating type. This is especially useful for branding, showrooms, or matching existing floors. Contact Xtreme Polishing Systems to discuss available color options and matching capabilities.
Yes. Pigmented epoxy and polyaspartic floor coatings are widely used for residential and commercial garage floors. They provide solid, uniform color, enhance appearance, and create a durable surface that resists chemicals, stains, and tire marks when properly installed.
