The REFLEX™ Natural pearl series is based on a natural-mica-based substrate. This series is coated with titanium dioxide, iron oxide or a combination of both, and provides high luster, high chroma, opacity and excellent batch consistency. This series includes various products and particle sizes for general purpose applications.

SpectraFlair pigments are light diffractive colorants that generate the appearance of multiple, bright rainbow producing prisms moving over a liquid silver color. The combination of rainbow-like color, aluminum core, and high pigment flake diameter to thickness ratio of SpectraFlair pigments create the appealing, iridescent, liquid silver metallic appearance. The pigments change from a typical metallic appearance in low illumination, to vivid, multi-rainbow effects in direct bright light. SpectraFlair pigment is a neutral color that may be used as the sole colorant or combined with other pigments and dyes to create subtle, sophisticated dimensions for products and spaces.

Benda-Lutz is one of the global players for metallic pigments production for the paint, powder coating, ink and plastic industries as well as one of the main producers of aluminum flakes for the autoclaved aerated concrete industry. Benda-Lutz has four production sites - in Austria (headquarters), Poland, Russia and in the USA.

Decorative aluminium pigments contain an inexhaustible spectrum of effects, from soft white shimmer to spectacular glittery sparkle, giving designs a contemporary and premium appearance for a wide range of applications.

STABIL based on leading technology, this series of inorganic encapsulated aluminum pigments provide a variety of optical effects with long term stability and gassing resistance for waterborne.

ChromaFlair pigments are unique, multi-layer pigment flakes that give paints, coatings, plastics, textiles and packaging the ability to change color when viewed from different angles.

MAXAL is a automotive stylists will be interested in the exceptional brilliance and travel of MAXAL. These non-leafing, lenticular grades are produced via sophisticated milling processes yielding narrow particle size distributions and polished flake surfaces.

Newer paint application systems subject coatings containing aluminum pigments to tremendous shear forces. These mechanical forces can have the tendency of dulling the metallic appearance of the final coating by breaking and deforming the individual aluminum flakes. Silberline's TUFFLAKE line of circulation-resistant pigments is specifically engineered to withstand these mechanical forces and maintain their targeted appearance.

Pearlescent pigments are all around us. They are widely used in a wide variety of applications including packaging, printing inks, paints and coatings, plastics, personal care and many others. Pearlescent pigments are used whenever a soft shine, a satin lustre or brilliant sparkling appearances are desired. Inspired by fashion trends and nature, ChemTech constantly works on development of new product grades. Contact us to get detailed information about our latest elaborations.

Silberline's SILVET technology provides improved ease of handling, dispersion and compatibility in the extrusion of powder coatings. Metallic powder coatings pigmented with SILVET granules have the benefit of no picture frame effect and offer excellent recyclability and penetration into recessed areas. SILVET aluminum pigments are carried in a polymer known to be compatible with Epoxy, Hybrid, Polyester, Polyurethane and Acrylic powder coatings.

STARBRITE’s unique characteristics enable the formulator to achieve a smooth, mirror-like metallic effect with a highly-reflective, brilliant finish due to its exceptionally high surface area and aspect ratio. These products are supplied as 10% dispersion in ethyl acetate solvent, with certain other solvents available upon special request. STARBRITE Reveal offers broader compatibility and a greener manufacturing.

SPLENDAL is a microscopically thin non-leafing aluminum platelet suspensions produced via physical vapor deposition (PVD). This unique manufacturing technology provides perfectly smooth and uniform flakes for extraordinary brilliance and coverage.

Black Olive™ is a specialty mica based black effect pigment, coated with a cobalt ferrite. The champagne colored undertone offers a wide spectrum of color designs. This revolutionary product expands the range of absorption colors which are possible to be achieved with mica based pigments in the black and brownish color palette. BTC‘s effect pigments are used extensively in automotive and industrial paints and coatings i.e. automotive OEM, automotive refinish, bicycles and motorcycles.

PET Glitter ChemTech was improved for enhancement of the visual effect of products and the creation of a strong illusion of depth. Its high shining effect can make decorations dazzlingly bright and colourful.

MICACLAD F.C combines high-aspect ratio reinforcing cosmetic grade micas with the added advantage of an FDA compliant pigment sealed with an FDA compliant binding system. The result is a safe non-dispersing pigment, a vibrant color enhancement to the particle creating effects ranging from a subtle luster to a full simulated stone, the opacity of the flakes is sufficiently high to retain the reflectance in both aqueous and polymer based systems. Giving color fast pigment dispersions on a reinforcing mica particle could reduce raw material costs dramatically.

ColorLite from Progressive Fillers International is a non-dispersing pigment for FDA compliant special effects for the Masterbatch, Compounding, Paint and Coatings industries. ColorLite combines the benefits of a light weight proprietary flake with a brilliant non-dispersing pigmented color, creating a revolutionary unique composite.
