Overview
TheGT seriesis a100% waterborne, high-concentration color pasteLine using pure water as the carrier. With pigment loading up to 75%, it delivers strong tinting strength at low dosage while remaining easy to handle. GT is a versatile aqueous colorant already proven inarchitectural and wall paints, anti-corrosion and floor coatings, liquid ink pens, markers, natural latex, and seed coatings, with many additional water-based applications.
Why 100% Water-Based and High Concentration?
A pure-water carrier delivers zero or very low VOCs, no solvent odor, and excellent compatibility with water-based binders. Its high pigment concentration reduces paste dosage, lowers formulation costs, and minimizes water introduced into the system—delivering strong, cost-effective color without compromising film properties.

Handling & Selection
Stir well before use and add slowly with agitation. For exterior or anti-corrosion systems, select high lightfastness grades (GT6350, GT6570, iron oxides); for pens and markers, use fine, stable nano dispersions. Perform a compatibility test prior to full-scale production.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are GT color pastes truly 100% waterborne?Yes. GT uses pure water as the carrier with no solvent-based resin, resulting in zero or very low VOC and no solvent odor.
What does "high concentration" mean in practice?Pigment loading reaches up to 75%, requiring less paste for full color. This lowers costs and reduces the water added to the formulation.
Which industries already use GT pastes?They are established in architectural and wall paints, anti-corrosion and floor coatings, liquid ink pens, markers, natural latex, and seed coating.
Can GT inks be used in pens and markers?Yes — the fine, stable dispersions are ideal for free-ink pens and water-based markers, preventing flocculation or nozzle clogging.
Can they color agricultural or latex products?Yes. GT is used for seed coating and natural latex products. Being water-based and non-toxic, it is well-suited to these applications.
