Aquarius White PC - 1KG
Highly concentrated white pigment for the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based ink system, engineered for accurate color adjustment, custom color mixing, and professional textile screen printing.
Characteristics
Aquarius™ White PC – 1KG is a highly concentrated universal white pigment concentrate designed for use with compatible Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based printing bases. It is part of the 15-color Aquarius pigment concentrate range from Avient Specialty Inks and can be used across Aquarius printing systems, including specialty products.
The concentrated white pigment gives screen printers additional control when formulating custom colors. It can be incorporated into an appropriate Aquarius base to lighten colors, adjust shade and opacity, and create custom formulations through the Aquarius color-mixing system. Because it is a pigment concentrate rather than a ready-to-print white ink, the appropriate Aquarius base and its recommended pigment-loading limits should always be followed.
Aquarius pigment concentrates are supported by Zodiac™ Aquarius™ IMS 3.0, Avient's cloud-based ink management and color formulation system. IMS provides formulas for matching Pantone® standard colors and approved brand colors while helping printers manage color formulations and ink inventory.
The Aquarius line is a non-PVC water-based ink system developed to provide professional printing performance while addressing sustainability requirements. Final printed color and appearance can vary according to ink-film thickness, opacity, pigment selection, substrate, base formulation, and production method.

Aquarius White PC – 1KG is ideal for professional textile screen printers using the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based system who need a concentrated white pigment for custom color formulation, shade adjustment, color matching, and controlled water-based ink production.
It is particularly useful for shops creating repeatable custom colors through the Aquarius IMS system or adjusting existing formulations where additional white pigment is required.
Aquarius White PC is a concentrated pigment component and should not be treated as a ready-for-use white printing ink. It is intended to be incorporated into compatible Zodiac™ Aquarius™ bases according to the selected formulation and application.
Maximum pigment loading depends on the specific Aquarius base being used. Always follow the technical recommendations for that base rather than applying a single pigment-loading percentage across all Aquarius formulations.
Printed results can vary depending on ink-film thickness, opacity, pigment selection, substrate, base formulation, curing conditions, and other production variables.
Always verify the finished color and cure performance on the actual production garment. Finished prints should be evaluated for color accuracy, colorfastness, cure, adhesion, wash durability, and overall print performance before production approval.
