Product Description:
Pearlescent pigment is a kind of optical effect pigment, because it can show a certain metallic luster, it is also known as a metallic luster non-metallic pigment. Pearlescent pigments have the flash effect of metal pigments, and can produce the soft color of natural pearls, when exposed to sunlight, can produce multi-level reflection, reflected light interaction and show a soft dazzling or colorful luster and color.

Can be widely used in paint, plastic, rubber, ink, paper, textiles, cosmetics, decorations, crafts, leather, enamel, ceramics, packaging supplies, printing and decoration and building materials and many other fields.

Basic categories :

Pearlescent pigments are mainly divided into the following categories:

Inorganic base pearlescent pigment

Inorganic base pearlescent pigments mainly include high chloride, basic lead carbonate, acid lead phosphate and bismuth hydroxide. However, such pearlescent pigments either have potential toxicity or poor chemical stability, which limits their use. 

Mica base pearlescent pigment

Natural mica is an excellent substrate for preparing mica pearlescent pigments, which is widely used because of its abundant resources and low manufacturing cost. Mica titanium pearlescent pigment is a kind of pearlescent pigment with the most extensive research and the most mature technology. Due to the different refractive indices of titanium dioxide and mica substrates, better pearlescent effect, color effect and Angle flash effect are produced by multiple reflection and interference of light. 

other

With the deepening of the research on pearlescent pigments, some other matrix materials have also been discovered and used in the preparation process of pearlescent pigments, such as glass based pearlescent pigments, aluminum flake based pearlescent pigments, oxide based pearlescent pigments, kaolin, ceramic flakes, graphite flakes, etc.

 

Application :

1. Textiles

Combining pearlescent pigments with textiles can give the fabric an excellent pearly luster and color. The pearlescent pigment is added to the printing paste and printed on the textile after post-treatment, which can make the fabric produce a strong pearlescent luster from various angles and layers under sunlight or other light sources.

2. Paint

Coatings are widely used, whether it is automotive finish paint, auto parts, building materials, household appliances, etc., will use paint to color modification and achieve a certain protective effect.

3. Ink

Pearlescent ink is more and more widely used in high-end packaging printing, such as cigarette bags, high-end wine labels, anti-counterfeiting printing and other fields.

4.Ceramics

The application of pearlescent pigments to ceramics can make ceramics have special optical properties.

5. Plastic

Mica titanium pearling pigment is almost suitable for all thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics, will not make plastic products fade or ash, can produce bright metallic luster and pearling effect.

6.Cosmetics

The variety, performance and color diversity of cosmetics depend on the diversity of pigments used in them. Pearlescent pigments are widely used as cosmetics pigments because of their strong hiding power or high transparency, good color, wide spectrum and other characteristics.

7. Other

Pearlescent pigments are also used in other production and daily life. Such as imitation bronze appearance, artificial stone applications
