Soruda SC/ST Series
Soruda SC/ST Series color pastes are premium water-based tints with high pigment loading, specifically engineered for a wide range of industrial and decorative coatings.
The range covers 32 grades in total — 16 SC super-dispersed factory pastes with pigment solids up to 50% and specific gravity from 1.12 to 1.20, plus 16 ST universal grades for color mixing machines — all water-based, APEO-free and low VOC, with lightfastness up to 8 on the 1 to 8 scale.
Primary Applications: Synthetic resin latex paints, Water-based wood coatings, Transparent varnishes, Acrylic emulsions, and Polyester resins.
High Pigment Content: Pigment solids reach 50% in grades such as SC1001, SC1002, SC1005, SC1014 and SC1015, ensuring maximum color strength and transparency, reducing the amount needed and lowering costs.
Stable Batch-to-Batch: Consistent color control stability ensures color consistency between batches, so formulas do not drift from one delivery to the next.
Eco-Friendly Formula: Free from APEO (alkylphenol ethoxylate), heavy metals and low VOC, meeting stringent environmental standards.
Excellent Compatibility: Works seamlessly with styrene-butadiene, polyvinyl acetate and acrylic resin emulsions without sedimentation.
Simple Color Matching: Multiple color card databases are supported, and the pastes are easy to operate with a long storage period of 18 months.
Smart Integration: Designed to work perfectly with the Soruda SO-TD1100 Computerized Color Matching System.
The ST series covers 16 universal grades supplied for color mixing machines. Lightfastness is rated on the 1 to 8 scale at both 1:1 and 1:25 tinting strength; alkali resistance is rated 1 to 5.

The Soruda SO-TD1100 is an intelligent computerized color matching system designed for the coating industry. It features an open architecture compatible with Soruda SC/ST color pastes, offering:
Database Management: Builds optical databases based on 8 concentration points for precise calculations.
Automatic Correction: Automatically adjusts formulas based on production sample deviations.
Waste Reduction: Efficiently reuses old or leftover materials by generating new formulas.
One-Click Operation: Directly drives the tinting machine for integrated automated color mixing.
Compatibility Test: Always conduct a compatibility test before bulk use to prevent paint film defects.
Dosage: The recommended addition amount should not exceed 10%. Stir thoroughly before use.
Sealing: Reseal unused products immediately to prevent contamination.
pH Stability: The ideal pH range for use is between 7-10.
Alkali Sensitivity: Purple, Magenta, and Orange series may be affected by high alkalinity; please test durability.
Storage: Non-dangerous goods. Store and transport at 5°C-40°C, avoid direct sunlight.
Shelf Life: 18 months. If no obvious precipitation or color change occurs, it can continue to be used.
They are two complete lines of water-based color pastes for factory tinting. The SC line covers 16 super-dispersed grades (SC1001 to SC1016) with pigment solids up to 50%, and the ST line covers 16 universal grades (ST1 to ST16) supplied for color mixing machines — 32 grades in total.
The amount of paste added when mixing colors should normally not exceed 10% of the formula, and each paste must be stirred thoroughly before use. A compatibility test on the actual emulsion is recommended before bulk production.
The ideal working pH range is 7 to 10. The pastes are non-hazardous goods and should be stored and transported between 5°C and 40°C, away from direct sunlight. The valid storage period is 18 months.
They are compatible with styrene-butadiene emulsion, semi-gloss and high-gloss emulsions, polyvinyl acetate, acrylic acid resin emulsion, water-based paint, ethylene-vinyl acetate polymer and water-based enzyme acid emulsion, as well as synthetic resin latex paint, polyester and acrylic resin.
Lightfastness is rated 1 to 8. Grades such as ST1 White, ST2 Carbon Black, ST3 Iron Red, ST5 Green, ST6 DPP Red, ST10, ST13 and ST16 Phthalocyanine Blue reach 8 at both 1:1 and 1:25, with alkali resistance 5. Yellow and orange grades such as ST4, ST9 and ST14 rate 4-5 on alkali resistance and should be tested on the finished film.
Yes. The pastes work with the Soruda SO-TD1100 computerized color matching system, which builds optical databases from 8 concentration points, corrects formulas against production samples and drives the tinting machine directly.
