Laser Mirror-silver Paste Pigment

Laser Mirror-silver Paste pigment, also called light diffractive pigment or rainbow effect paste pigment, is a wetted thin-film flake comprised of 20% aluminum and 80% solvent ( Butyl Glycol and PM ). By controlling the physical dimensions and surface microstructure of the pigment’s flake structure, the pigment generates the appearance of multiple, bright, rainbow-producing prisms moving over a liquid silver color. It changes from a typical metallic appearance in low illumination, to vivid, multi-rainbow effects in direct bright light. The pigment has a pleasing, elegant, and dramatic visual appeal that is unique, durable, and easy to incorporate.

Laser Mirror-silver Paste opens new worlds of design possibilities and adds value and appeal to virtually any product. Coatings containing the pigment enhance the contours of three-dimensional objects and create spectacular visual effects. It 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.

Laser Mirror-silver Paste can be widely used in automotive coatings, industrial coatings, printing (screen, gravure, flexo), plastics, synthetic textiles, packaging, etc.

Two series ( TP , SP ) and four particle size grades of the pigment are available for use.

1. Fine grade pigment (D50 average of 10 microns) - creates a diffractive rainbow effect that appears to emanate from the surface in pleasing and subtle tones but with noticeably smoother, softer and more satin-like effects. Bright rainbow prism over liquid silver color - fine grade.

2. Standard grade pigment (D50 average of 20 microns) - optimally balances the diffractive rainbow effect with a high level of specular reflection. Bright rainbow prism over liquid  silver color - standard grade.

3.Coarse grade pigment (D50 average of 35 microns, 50 microns) - produces a silver-based color with a diffractive rainbow effect that is more distinct and chromatic with a noticeably coarser and more sparkling appearance. Bright rainbow prism over liquid silver color - coarse grade.
