Ralston Tinting Systems
Ralston Tinting Systems are professional tinting solutions designed to support colour tinting for decorative paints, industrial coatings, protective coatings, and a wide range of water-based and solvent-based paint applications. With a complete portfolio of colourants, Ralston helps deliver consistent, accurate, and flexible colour results for both in-plant and point of sales tinting systems.
Ralston colourant systems are developed to meet different colour formulation needs, ranging from universal colourants, solvent-based alkyd colourants, low-VOC waterborne colourants, to colourants for heavy-duty industrial coatings. With broad compatibility, modular system options, and a strong focus on colour performance, Ralston Tinting Systems provide an efficient and stable tinting solution for paint manufacturers, distributors, and industrial users.
UNI Plus Colourants are universal Zero-VOC colourants that can be used for tinting both water-based and solvent-based paints. These colourants are suitable for decorative paints and various industrial water-based chemistries, such as floor coatings and protective coatings, with high compatibility and strong colour performance.
ALK colourants are alkyd-based colourants developed specifically for tinting solvent-based alkyd paints. This system is suitable for solvent-based decorative paints that require high hiding power, colour stability, and minimal impact on paint properties such as gloss, viscosity, pot life, sagging, and drying time.
AQ Colourants are low-VOC waterborne colourants designed for waterborne lacquers and wall paints. They are also suitable for tinting plasters and structure paints, and can be used for both in-plant and point of sales tinting systems.
IND Pro Colourants are premium industrial colourants for tinting heavy-duty coatings, including industrial and protective coatings. They are designed for infrastructure, construction, transport, oil and gas, and other industrial sectors that require colour performance, durability, and high compatibility in coating systems.
