Pearlescent pigments have the characteristics of acid resistance, alkali resistance and heat resistance; they are not self-igniting, non-combustible, non-conductive, excellent light resistance, weather resistance, water-insoluble and non-toxic.

At present, pearlescent pigments are widely used in coatings, plastics, inks, printing, cosmetics, automotive, toys, leather, rubber, and decorative arts. These fields are closely related to our lives.

Next, let's talk about why pearlescent pigments are used in paints and inks.

Pearlescent pigments are widely used in the coatings industry. They are easily dispersed evenly in the base slurry of the coatings, and have good wettability and no precipitation. Pearlescent coatings have better weatherability and light stability than other coatings, and are easy to maintain the glittering effect. It is suitable for decorative coatings, metal coatings, protective coatings and building materials coatings. It has the characteristics of low cost, scrub resistance and good pearlescence.

Whether it is a solvent-based coating or a water-based coating, if mica titanium is used, its function is not only to cover and decorate, but more importantly, it can improve the physicochemical properties of the coating, enhance chemical stability, improve hiding power, color reduction, and corrosion resistance. Sex, light and weather resistance, enhance the mechanical strength and adhesion of the film, prevent cracking or shedding, prevent UV and moisture transmission, and extend the life of the object. At the same time, it can also save materials and improve production efficiency.
