Aquarius Water-Based Fluorescent Pink Mixing Pigment Concentrate - 5kg
Highly concentrated fluorescent pink water-based pigment designed for the Zodiac™ Aquarius™ ink system, delivering vibrant neon color for custom mixing, Pantone® color formulation, and professional textile screen printing.
Characteristics
The Aquarius Water Base Fluorescent Pink Mixing Pigment Concentrate is a highly concentrated universal pigment formulated for use with Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based screen printing inks. It produces vivid fluorescent pink color while giving printers the flexibility to formulate custom colors for textile printing applications.
Aquarius Fluorescent Pink is part of the Aquarius universal pigment system and can be combined with compatible Aquarius printing bases, including specialty products. The concentrated formulation allows relatively small quantities of pigment to create strong, vibrant color while simplifying inventory by using one pigment system across multiple Aquarius bases.
For repeatable color matching, Aquarius pigments are supported by Avient IMS 3.0 Ink Management Software, which provides formulations for Pantone® standard colors and approved brand colors. Accurate weighing with a digital scale is recommended when following mixing formulas.
This product is a pigment concentrate and is not intended to be printed as a standalone ink. It must be mixed into the appropriate Aquarius base according to the formulation and maximum pigment-loading recommendations for that specific base.

Aquarius Water Base Fluorescent Pink Mixing Pigment Concentrate should be incorporated into an appropriate Zodiac™ Aquarius™ water-based printing base. Depending on the applicable base specifications, the pigment may be used with compatible soft-hand, high-solids, discharge, and specialty Aquarius systems.
Fluorescent Pink may also be blended with other compatible Aquarius pigment concentrates to develop custom fluorescent shades, Pantone® colors, brand colors, and specialty formulations. Any additional modifiers or additives should be used according to the recommendations for the specific Aquarius base.
- Stir the Fluorescent Pink Pigment Concentrate thoroughly before use.
- Measure pigment accurately and mix it completely into the selected Aquarius base until the color is uniform.
- Use an accurate digital scale when preparing custom color formulations.
- Follow the appropriate Zodiac™ Aquarius™ IMS 3.0 formulation when matching specific Pantone® or custom colors.
- Accurately record pigment and base weights to improve batch-to-batch repeatability.
- Do not exceed the maximum pigment-loading recommendation for the selected Aquarius base.
- Avoid excessive pigment loading, as it can affect the performance and durability of the finished ink.
- Mix thoroughly until the pigment is completely and uniformly dispersed throughout the base.
- Periodically shake and rotate stored pigment containers to help minimize settling.
- Keep the container properly closed when not in use.
- Test the completed formulation on the actual production garment before beginning a full print run.
- Verify finished color, opacity, cure, adhesion, colorfastness, and durability.
- Remember that fluorescent color appearance can vary with substrate, garment color, ink-film thickness, opacity, pigment concentration, and printing conditions.
Aquarius Water Base Fluorescent Pink Mixing Pigment Concentrate is a concentrated colorant and is not intended to be printed as a standalone, ready-to-print ink. It must be mixed into an appropriate compatible Zodiac™ Aquarius™ printing base before use.
The selected Aquarius base determines the finished ink's printing characteristics, opacity, hand feel, recommended substrates, mesh requirements, flashing and curing parameters, adhesion, colorfastness, durability, and overall performance.
Maximum pigment loading varies according to the Aquarius base being used. Always refer to the applicable Product Information Bulletin and formulation recommendations for the selected base rather than applying one pigment percentage across all Aquarius systems.
Excessive pigment loading can negatively affect printability, curing, adhesion, colorfastness, wash durability, and other performance characteristics of the finished ink.
Because this is a fluorescent pigment, final color appearance can vary significantly depending on substrate color, ink-film thickness, opacity, pigment concentration, underbase, mesh, and printing conditions.
Always perform a production test using the actual substrate and complete ink formulation. Evaluate the finished print for color accuracy, opacity, cure, adhesion, colorfastness, and durability before approving the formulation for production.
