Pearlescent Pigment (Capacity: 8 MT/Day)

PEARLESCENT PIGMENT 

[EIRI/EDPR/4642] J.C.: 2859XL

INTRODUCTION

Pearlescent pigment delivers superior whiteness, brilliance and coverage with extraordinary optical effects ranging from a fine-grained lustre to a bold silvery white sparkle. In the application medium, they may have a pearlescent iridescent lustre.

Pearlescent pigments are non-toxic, inert, and can be mixed into virtually any viscous, transparent medium and applied to any surface. The variety of finishes pearl can produce is nearly endless from metallic sheens to pearlescent shimmers to all manner of faux finishes. Pearl fine pigments possess physical stability and can be used in water based, solvent based paints and powder coatings.

In plastics, the best luster, brightness, and colour intensity occurs with particle size of 10 to 40 microns. Smaller platelets impart a smooth, silky luster and larger ones confer sparkle and glitter. Mica based pearlescent pigment can be used in nearly all thermoplastics and most processes. It can also be incorporated in many thermosets, including unsaturated polyester, acrylic, urethane, and epoxy.

Beside plastics, paints, pearlescent pigments are used in textile printing, paper coatings and cosmetic applications.
