Water-Based Coating & Pigments

For many years BJB has produced some very unique flexible coatings that work great with urethane elastomers and flexible foams.  Our popular SC-89 series has been used in prototyping and special effects for decades to produce a flexible, color and UV stable coating.  The down side to the SC-89 has been that it is solvent based.  So BJB went back to the lab to produce a more eco-friendly, water based alternative to save on shipping costs and lower exposure risks for users.

Our latest offering, SC-92, is proving to be a very high performance flexible coating with many great attributes to offer. 

·         Good adhesion on a variety of substrates

·         High elongation properties

·         Good abrasion resistance

·         Color and UV stability (great coating for non-UV stable elastomers like the F-series)

·         Dries nearly as fast as our solvent-based SC-89. 

·         The SC-92 can be applied to parts after demolding but also performs great as an in-mold coating so parts pop out with the integrated color and mold finish. 

·         Ready to spray without thinning using any standard airbrush or touch-up gun.

The other exciting news to announce is that BJB is now offering Water Based Pigments for our line of water based coatings like the SC-92; the 7100 Series Pigments*.  These highly concentrated pigments come in a range of colors and can be used in everything from BJB's water based coatings to a variety of Latex products commonly used in the Special Effects Industry!  The high concentration means that a little pigment goes a long way for good color saturation while saving material properties. 

*Note that these pigments are not compatible with standard urethane casting materials, foams, or silicone products.
