Aquarius Orange PC - 1KG
Highly concentrated orange universal pigment for the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based ink system, engineered for vibrant color development, accurate custom color mixing, and professional textile screen printing.
Characteristics
Aquarius™ Orange PC – 1KG is a highly concentrated universal orange pigment designed for use with Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based ink bases. The Aquarius PC pigment range is formulated so the pigments can be used across Aquarius bases, including specialty-effect bases, giving screen printers flexibility when creating production colors and custom formulations.
Manufactured by Avient Specialty Inks, Aquarius Orange PC provides strong, vibrant orange color development while allowing printers to control the final shade through precise pigment loading. Its concentrated formulation is designed to provide efficient color development without requiring excessive amounts of pigment.
Aquarius pigments are designed for professional color mixing. For consistent and repeatable matched colors, use applicable Avient IMS color-mixing formulas and follow the technical recommendations for the selected Aquarius base, including its maximum recommended pigment loading.
Aquarius Orange PC should be thoroughly stirred before use. Stored containers should also be mixed and rotated regularly to help minimize pigment settling. Finished formulations should be tested for color accuracy, colorfastness, cure performance, and print durability before beginning a full production run.

Aquarius Orange PC is a concentrated pigment rather than a standalone ready-to-print ink. It should be incorporated into the appropriate Zodiac™ Aquarius™ base according to the desired formulation and printing application.
Maximum pigment loading varies depending on the Aquarius base being used. Always follow the technical recommendations for the specific base rather than applying one universal pigment percentage across all Aquarius formulations.
Final printed color can vary depending on the Aquarius base, pigment concentration, substrate color and composition, ink-film thickness, mesh selection, stencil thickness, printing technique, and curing conditions.
Production testing is recommended whenever changing substrates, formulations, pigment ratios, or process conditions. Verify the completed print for color accuracy, colorfastness, cure, adhesion, and overall print durability before beginning a full production run.
