Pearlescent pigments possess excellent dispersibility and physicochemical properties, making them widely used in the coatings industry. Adding pearlescent pigments to any monochrome coating creates a pearlescent coating, whose pearlescent and metallic luster is impressive. Pearlescent coatings are used in many fields, such as automobiles, motorcycles, daily necessities, and building materials.

Pearlescent pigments are layered, thus wetting is simple and rapid, but the polarity of the system's surface and the chemical properties of the medium or solvent should be considered. Pearlescent pigment fragments are easily broken during dispersion; generally, pearlescent pigments can be dispersed simply by stirring. If a disperser is used, mixing can only be done for a short time. Pearlescent powder manufacturers recommend dispersing the pulp before mixing with paint. Pearlescent pigment powders from pearlescent pigment brands are generally intended for use in paints and inks, but in some processes, it is necessary to directly add pearlescent powder to materials and mix them together.

Pearlite powder order numbers: coarser at 20 mesh, finer at 2000 mesh, with even finer particle sizes of 3-5µm and coarser at 100-1000µm. Pearlite properties: Pearlite has wide applications in water and oil, can withstand high temperatures of 600-800 degrees Celsius, and is resistant to acids, alkalis, and oxidation.

Pearl powder manufacturers classify pearl powder into ordinary pearl powder raw materials and pearl powder dispersed using soft resins. Colors are mainly silver, bright gold, metallic, and other colors, including rainbow and chameleon series pearl powders with interference colors. The difference lies in the particle size, depending on the application and effect. Smaller particle sizes result in stronger hiding power, while larger particle sizes result in stronger luster. In the printing industry, particle size has relatively strict requirements; smaller particle sizes are suitable for offset printing, while larger particle sizes are suitable for flexographic and gravure printing, yielding better results.
