What applications are industrial-grade pearlescent pigments suitable for? Let's take a look! Currently, the most widely produced and used pearlescent pigments in the world are based on natural mica flakes, coated with one or more layers of titanium or other metal oxides through a special chemical process.

Industrial-grade pearlescent pigments are used in offset printing: Offset printing offers the advantages of convenient platemaking and low cost. Many packaging printers prefer offset printing for proofing when testing new packaging products, especially pearlescent products. When mixing pearlescent pigments with other colorants, dyes or pigments with good transparency should be selected. Printing can be categorized into lithography, flexography, gravure, screen printing, and thermal relief printing, and the application of pearlescent pigments varies depending on the printing method. The main factors affecting the pearlescent effect of printed products include the nature of the ink, the ink transfer method, the printing process, and the type of substrate. Mica titanium pearlescent pigments are suitable for almost all thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics. They will not cause plastic products to fade or gray, and can produce bright metallic luster and pearlescent effects.
