The Kromapearl range represents a complete portfolio of high performance pearlescent pigments offering unlimited design possibilities for printed and coated materials, plastics and cosmetics. From subtle sheens and shimmers with gentle colour gradations to bright lusters and sparkles with brilliant depth and extreme spectral shift, the creation of uniquely beautiful and eye-catching effects has never been more achievable.
The optical effects which can be created with Kromapearl depend largely on particle size, pigment type and substrate. Fine grades offer silky lustre effects with the highest opacity whereas coarser grades are less opaque and exhibit stronger glitter. Since pearlescent pigments are generally semi-transparent a wide variety of colour effects can be achieved by varying the background colour or by combining Kromapearl with transparent pigments. Smooth substrates will yield better pearlescent effects than irregular or highly absorbent ones.
