Introduction of chameleon pearl pigments

2025-01-15

The excellent chemical resistance and high temperature resistance of pearlescent pigments provide the possibility of being used in a wide range of coatings, inks, plastics and many other fields, and they provide a completely new color system and color quality for these products. Pearlescent pigments are low in heavy metals and meet the relevant safety technical standards, so they can be used in food packaging and children's toys. Acids and alkalis cannot corrode pearlescent pigments at room temperature. Pearlescent pigments cannot be incinerated, do not spontaneously combust, do not conduct electricity, and can withstand high temperatures of 600 and 800 °C. Pearlescent pigments can also be used in resonant coating of radiation curing systems (electron beam curing, light curing). The special chemical structure of the appearance of pearlescent pigment makes it have excellent hydrophilicity, so it can be applied to water-based coatings, but the lipophilicity is poor, so when used in organic systems, there will be poor dispersion problems, and the pearlescent pigments need to be treated on the surface, so that they can also be well used in organic systems.




Creative Chameleon Color Concept:


For manufacturers, it must be a daunting challenge to invent a formula that can both impart color to the effect object and mimic color effects that can only be found in nature under normal conditions (e.g., pearlescent luster, iridescent effect, deep gloss, color drop). In the twentieth century, the constituent pigments could already imitate certain striking visual effects in nature. Typical examples include the use of titanium dioxide or other metal oxides coated on semi-transparent mica to achieve a pearl-like luster. With the birth of high-grade chameleon pigments, a new color concept began to enter the paint industry. Now, even nature's most spectacular color effects can achieve a deep gloss, sparkle and significant color change. Chameleon pigments, consisting of a network of organic polymers, include a crystalline phase of a liquid derived from sugars, commonly known as cholesterol liquids.

Optical Effects:


Pigments or dyes in general absorb light at a specific wavelength and scale and reflect other parts of the light. Chameleon pigments are crystals with a spiral structure that do not absorb light, but only reflect and transmit it, so they can be optically dried to create a color effect, just like soap bubbles. In a spiral-like structure, liquid crystal molecules in the shape of a cigar smoke are arranged in parallel rows. Each floor has a slightly different orientation. We define the spacing between two layers with the same molecular orientation as the pitch, which determines the color of the wafer. A typical chameleon pigment flake crystal has about 10 superimposed pitches, each of which reflects light. In the incident ray, the light with a wavelength corresponding to the pitch of the particle will be reflected, while the rest of the light will be transmitted to the surface of the effect. Because of the transparency of the pigment, the color of the effect itself also plays an appropriately important role when using chameleon pigments. When chameleon pigments are applied to dark colors, especially on black surfaces, a common color effect can be obtained that changes color depending on the angle of investigation. Conversely, on white or off-white undertones, there is only a very subtle sparkle effect of color changes, because the set reflects most of the incoming light.


Common, Authentic:


Chameleon pigments can add fresh power and characteristic colors to your products. Whether your products are cars, sports equipment, communication items, toys, leather, textiles, cosmetics, or other items, the outer layer of chameleon pigments will elevate them to a high-end level of their own. The appearance of chameleon pigments heralded the advent of a post-metallic era. Chameleon pigments are ushering in a new era in the field of coloring. It will revolutionize the formulation of your professions such as paints, coatings, plastics, and cosmetics. Your customers will also be incredibly focused on your product and will be appreciative of it!


Application Guide:


Because of their ease of processing and special color effects, chameleon pigments are suitable for a wide range of applications. In the formulation of the clear system, the chameleon pigment can exert a good color effect. With regard to the use of a deep glossy effect, the surface of the product should be covered with a clear coating. Chameleon pigments can be used in paints, coatings, printing inks, and plastic guesses. Ingredients that are not transparent or have a light-scattering effect will reduce the color change to the desired brightness effect. By mixing with other pigments (e.g. metallic and pearlescent pigments), it can achieve a very attractive effect. In Tongming Plastic, the required hiding power can be obtained by adding a small amount of carbon black (about 0.01%). During the application of the paint, the chameleon pigment particles should be arranged in parallel. This will give you the best results. For outdoor use, we advocate the addition of UV absorbers. Chameleon pigments have the following properties:


1. Compatibility with all types of adhesives in powder, water-based, solvent-based formulation systems and easy dispersibility


2. The lower density eliminates the problem of precipitation


3. Clarity, which can be used for the appearance of colored effects


Broaden the product scale:


The palpable scenery of the chameleon pigments gives life to the object. You can change the hue of a color in the following ways:


1. Change the color of the bottom layer


2. Mix two types of chameleon pigments


3. Chameleon pigments are mixed with other pigments


Clear paints, coatings, and pastes that use chameleon pigments create a new sense of color and broaden the scale of your products. By combining your products with different color effects, your customers can get a variety of color changes with just a few of your products.


Non-toxic and odorless pigments:


Chameleon pigments are safe because:


1. It does not contain heavy metals and other toxic substances


2. It can be harmonized with the surrounding environment


3. Environmental protection authorities define non-toxic and harmless pigments
