What Are Beaver Dust Mica Powder Pigments?
Beaver Dust Pigments are fine mica powder pigments used to add colour, shimmer, pearl effects, metallic movement, and specialty colour effects to epoxy resin and other creative mediums. They are especially popular for epoxy river tables, resin art, charcuterie boards, coasters, trays, inlays, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and decorative craft projects.
All Beaver Dust Pigments are under 60 microns, which helps them mix smoothly into epoxy and stay suspended while the epoxy cures instead of sinking to the bottom like heavier or larger pigment particles can.
If you are trying to create bold colour, soft shimmer, ghost effects, colour-shift movement, ocean waves, metallic rivers, or subtle pearl highlights, Beaver Dust gives you a wide range of colour options to build from.

Why Particle Size Matters in Epoxy
In epoxy resin, pigment size matters because heavier or larger particles can settle before the epoxy has fully cured. That can leave colour concentrated at the bottom of the pour instead of evenly suspended throughout the resin.
Beaver Dust Pigments are under 60 microns, which helps them disperse smoothly and stay suspended in epoxy while it cures. This makes them a strong choice for river tables, resin art, coasters, trays, inlays, charcuterie boards, and other epoxy projects where consistent colour and shimmer matter.
As with any pigment, always test your colour mix before a full project, especially if you are trying a new epoxy system, deep pour, coating, candle wax, soap base, paint, or specialty application.
