Q- I love KBS Coatings’ selection of colors but do colors require porous pigments which will let moisture through the coating?

A- A basic understanding of paint chemistry will help. Paint is simply a combination of solvents, resins, and pigments. Porosity or the lack thereof is determined by the proper choice of resins. Pigments, which are fully encapsulated by these resins, simply provide color. In other words, pigments don’t determine porosity and resins don’t determine color. Some pigments are indeed porous; in fact black (carbon) is most porous of all. Yet when this extremely porous carbon pigment is encapsulated within the correct resins, the result is a non-porous coating. This holds true for less porous pigments as well.
