Substrate-Free Pigments

Pappus® Unique effect pigments in their class. They feature an exclusive structure in which titanium dioxide (TiO2) platelets lack a support; therefore, they do not have a substrate between the oxide layers. This significantly differentiates them from conventional mica-based effect pigments. With no substrate, they have a low density, resulting in a higher number of particles per unit weight.

This unique structure provides a silky, soft-focus appearance with surprisingly strong opacity, as well as interference reflection colors.

Applications: Printing inks, plastics, leather, wood, decorative paints, paper, packaging, glass.

Available in 18 colors, very fine particle sizes of 0–9 µm, 4–20 µm, and 5–35 µm.

Bismuth Oxychloride

A unique line of pre-dispersed BiOCl pigments that offers pearlescent and color effects across a wide range of applications based on acrylic resins, PMMA, decorative PVC films, polyester buttons, pearls, etc.
