Pigment Preparation for colouring PU foam systems
BKY IE are the Irelands distribution partner for Bomix products including PU-Pastes (PU Pigments) for the direct colouring of polyurethane foams. Our pigments give consistent, uniform colour distribution in suitable base materials.
Bomix PU-Pastes can be incorporated into a wide range of PU-systems. They are suitable for mixing-head feed and can be supplied in differing viscosity levels.
Colour Matching Service Available
We can match material colours upon customer request (RAL, RAL Design, HKS, Pantone, NCS or their colour samples). Depending on specific requirements we can alter the formulation to add characteristics such as improved UV-stability to the end product.
Available in small and large quantities. Bespoke / Tailor-made Pigments are available on request. Please contact us to see what we can offer your business.
