Solar Gold Pearlescent Pigments
Solar Gold Pearlescent Pigments refers to pearlescent effect pigments designed to produce a gold-toned appearance. Particle chemistry, size, dispersion and orientation determine colour or optical effect within the actual host formulation.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Pearlescent pigments are pigments with particular layered structures which make the light reflect at different levels. Under the right circumstances, the reflected waves can interfere with each other, causing amplification or cancellation. Depending on the structure of the layers in each case, this creates the brilliant interference color which gives the pigments their unique character.
Solar gold pearlescent pigments are one of the gold series pearlescent pigments. At present, the global headed by Germany Merck, the quality of its products is the best. The vast majority of global companies are based on Merck's products as the goal for generic production. But due to the difference of the technology and equipment, these companies' products with Merck still have a certain gap. In this report, due to the industry does not have a uniform standard of solar gold, so that we count each company's products are targeted to the Merck product of Iriodin® 305 and Iriodin® 325.
For this subject, the supplied object is pearlescent effect pigments designed to produce a gold-toned appearance. Compare dispersion, pigment concentration, binder refractive behaviour, film thickness and particle orientation under the same lighting. A pearlescent powder's appearance does not establish the cured film's colour flop. Organic and metallic pigment grades also require the actual chemical and exposure compatibility, not a visual shade match alone.
What turns activity into demand
Accepted paint, plastic and ink output consumes pigment through formulation loading, dispersion yield and target shade.
The commercial boundary
Separate dry pigment, treated powder, dispersion and finished coating; chemical-family and color categories may overlap.
Why does the same pigment look different in two formulations?
For this subject, the supplied object is pearlescent effect pigments designed to produce a gold-toned appearance. Compare dispersion, pigment concentration, binder refractive behaviour, film thickness and particle orientation under the same lighting. A pearlescent powder's appearance does not establish the cured film's colour flop.
