Aquarius White PC - 5KG
Highly concentrated white pigment for the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based ink system, designed for custom color mixing, tint adjustment, and professional textile screen printing applications.
Characteristics
Aquarius™ White PC – 5KG is a highly concentrated universal white pigment designed for use with compatible Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based ink bases. It gives screen printers a controlled way to introduce white pigment into custom formulations while maintaining the performance characteristics of the selected Aquarius base.
As part of the Aquarius pigment concentrate system, White PC can be incorporated into compatible bases to create custom colors, lighten existing formulations, adjust color values, and provide the white component required for specific color-matching formulas. Its concentrated format allows printers to achieve the desired pigmentation without relying on a ready-for-use white ink.
The Zodiac™ Aquarius™ system is built around versatile non-PVC water-based technology for professional garment decoration. The broader system includes bases, pigment concentrates, discharge products, additives, high-solids products, and other specialty components that allow printers to tailor ink formulations for different production requirements.
Actual printed results can vary depending on the selected Aquarius base, pigment concentration, substrate, fabric color, mesh, stencil thickness, print technique, curing conditions, and other production variables. Testing is recommended before beginning a production run.
Packaged in a 5KG container, Aquarius White PC is well suited for professional production environments and screen-printing shops that regularly mix Aquarius water-based colors.

- Test the finished ink on the intended garment before beginning a full production run.
- Evaluate final opacity and color after the ink has been fully cured.
- Keep containers properly closed when not in use to help prevent contamination and drying.
- Follow the curing recommendations for the Aquarius base or completed ink formulation being used.
- Test finished prints for color accuracy, opacity, cure, wash durability, and overall garment compatibility.
Aquarius White PC is a concentrated pigment component rather than a standalone ready-for-use white printing ink. It is intended to be incorporated into a compatible Zodiac™ Aquarius™ base as part of a finished water-based ink formulation.
The appropriate pigment loading, additives, printing parameters, and curing requirements depend on the specific Aquarius base and finished formulation being used. Always follow the recommendations for the selected base rather than applying one universal mixing ratio across all Aquarius products.
Final print characteristics can vary depending on the base and pigment combination, pigment loading, fabric type and color, mesh count, stencil thickness, print parameters, ink deposit, and curing conditions.
Always perform production testing on the actual garment to verify color, opacity, cure, adhesion, wash durability, and overall print performance before starting a full production run.
