What are the characteristics of pearlescent pigments?

Pearlescent pigments have good dispersibility and good physical and chemical properties, so they are widely used in the coating industry. No matter what kind of monochromatic paint is mixed with pearlescent pigments, it can become pearlescent paint, 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 have a flake structure, so wetting is simple and rapid, but the polar surface of the system and the chemical properties of the medium or solvent must be considered. Pearlescent pigment wafers are easily damaged during dispersion. Usually, pearlescent pigments can be dispersed by simply stirring. If dispersing machinery is used, only short time mixing is allowed. It is recommended to pre-disperse the pulp and then add it to the paint to mix. Color-changing pigments, fluorescent pigments

Pearlescent pigments not only produce pearlescent effects in printing inks while maintaining the original color tone, but also can bring a variety of metallic luster effects and iridescent luster effects. Pearlescent pigments have been widely used in the printing industry, often used in the printing of various packaging papers, magazines, posters, textiles and other items. Pearlescent pigments have excellent dispersibility. Generally, they can be mixed into low-viscosity printing inks with slight stirring. Because the pearlescent pigment has a layered structure, it can only be stirred slightly when mixed with the ink to avoid strong mechanical treatment to avoid damage to the surface of the pearlescent powder.
