Due to the excellent properties of pearlescent pigments, such as strong adhesion and variable color, it is widely used in many industries, including coatings and printing inks.

For paint:

Pearlescent pigments are widely used in the coatings industry because of their good dispersibility and good physical and chemical properties. No matter what kind of monochromatic paint is mixed with pearlescent pigments, it can become a pearlescent coating, and its pearlescent and metallic luster effects are impressive. Pearlescent coatings have been used in many fields such as automobiles, locomotives, daily necessities, and building materials.

Pearlescent pigments are sheet-like structures, so wetting is simple and rapid, but the polar surface of the system and the chemical nature of the medium or solvent need to be considered. The pearlescent pigment wafer is easily broken when dispersed, and usually the pearlescent pigment can be dispersed by simply stirring. If a dispersing machine can only be used for a short period of time, it is recommended to pre-disperse the pulp and then add it to the paint.

For printing inks:

Pearlescent pigments not only produce a pearlescent effect in the printing ink, but also maintain the original color tone, and can bring a variety of metallic luster effects and iridescent gloss effects. Pearlescent pigments have been widely used in the printing industry and are commonly used in the printing of various packaging papers, magazines, advertising drawings, textiles and other items.

Pearlescent pigments have excellent dispersibility and can be mixed into low viscosity printing inks with only a slight agitation. Since the pearlescent pigment is a layered structure, it can only be gently stirred when mixed with the ink to avoid strong mechanical treatment to prevent the surface of the pearl powder from being damaged.

Pearlescent pigments are everywhere, it is always around you, as long as you carefully observe, you will find it is wonderful!
