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 monochrome paint is mixed with pearl pigments, it can become pearl effect paint, and its pearl and metallic luster effects leave a deep impression. Pearl paint has been used in many fields, such as automobiles, motorcycles, daily necessities, building materials, etc.

Pearl pigments are lamellar, so wetting is simple and rapid, but the polar surface of the system and the chemical properties of the medium or solvent should be considered. Pearl pigment fragments are easily broken when dispersed, and pearl pigments can usually be dispersed simply by stirring. If a disperser  agent is used, it can only be mixed for a short time. Pearlescent powder manufacturers recommend dispersing the pulp before mixing the paint. Pearl powder of pearlescent pigment brands is basically to be adjusted into paint and ink, but in some processes, pearl powder and materials need to be added directly and mixed together.

Order number of pearlite pigment: coarser is 20 mesh, finer is 2000 mesh, finer particle size is 3-5um, coarser is 100-1000um. Characteristics of pearl: Pearl is widely used in water and oil, can withstand high temperatures of 600-800 degrees, as well as acid and alkali resistance and oxidation resistance.

Pearl powder manufacturers divide pearl powder into ordinary pearl powder raw materials and pearl powder dispersed with soft resin. The colors are mainly silver, bright gold, metal and other colors, interference color rainbow and chameleon series of pearl powder, and the difference lies in the different particle sizes according to the direction of use and the effect. The smaller the particle size, the stronger the covering power of the pearl powder. The larger the particle size, the stronger the luster of the pearl effect. In the printing industry, there are relatively strict requirements for particle size. Smaller particle sizes can be used for offset printing, and larger particle sizes can be used for flexographic printing and gravure printing, which have better effects.
