Silver White Pearl Pigments represent our most versatile range of effect pigments, designed to provide clean, neutral luster across industrial and cosmetic platforms. Available in both natural mica (KT-100 Series) and high-purity synthetic mica (KT-7100 Series), these pigments offer a spectrum of effects—from silky, low-sheen satins to high-brilliance metallic silvers. They serve as a reliable white-base luster for coatings, plastics, and personal care products.

Interference Series pigments are engineered to produce distinct iridescent colors through the precision control of light interference. Unlike standard silver-white pearls, these pigments utilize a thicker layer of Titanium Dioxide to selectively reflect specific wavelengths—resulting in vibrant Gold, Red, Violet, Blue, and Green highlights. Available in both natural mica (KT-200) and synthetic fluorphlogopite (KT-7200) substrates, they offer high-performance color-shifting effects for premium industrial and cosmetic applications.

Gold Series provides a comprehensive range of gold pearlescent effects, from pale champagne and royal gold to deep bronze and wine red tones. By combining Iron Oxide and Titanium Dioxide coatings on mica substrates, these pigments deliver a rich, metallic brilliance. Unlike traditional metal powders, our Gold Series is non-conductive and chemically stable, offering a safe and durable alternative for high-end decorative finishes.

Metal Luster Pearlescent Pigments are iron oxide-coated mica flakes available in two substrate options: natural mica (KT-500 Series) and synthetic fluorphlogopite (KT-7500 Series). Both deliver warm metallic luster with strong opacity and reliable chemical stability. Color tone is controlled by varying the iron oxide coating thickness, producing a consistent range from gold to deep bronze across multiple particle size grades.

Multicolor Series (often referred to as Candy Color Series) provides a vibrant spectrum of pre-colored pearlescent pigments, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. By integrating high-intensity organic or inorganic colorants onto a mica base, these pigments deliver a "color + luster" dual effect. Unlike shifting pigments, this series maintains a consistent, saturated hue from all angles, providing a brilliant alternative to traditional dye-based metallic finishes.

Borosilicate Glass Pigments (Dreamstar Series) are effect pigments based on synthetic calcium aluminum borosilicate flakes coated with titanium dioxide and other metal oxides. The combination of high transparency, smooth platelet structure, and high refractive index produces a bright, diamond-like sparkle with exceptional brilliance compared to conventional mica-based pigments.These smooth, glass-flake structures offer superior brightness and chromatic purity, making them ideal for high-end automotive, cosmetic, and industrial applications.

Edible Glitter Luster Dust is a premium series of mica-based pearlescent pigments designed specifically for the food and beverage industry. These food-grade powders deliver a sophisticated shimmer, ranging from silky satin to brilliant sparkle. Engineered for safety and visual impact, they provide a stable, captivating luster in gold, silver, and bronze without affecting the flavor profile of the end product.

Chameleon Pigments are color-shifting pearlescent pigments based on layered mineral substrates coated with metal oxides. The pigments produce a visible color travel effect when viewed from different angles. This optical interference creates multi-tone transitions commonly used in automotive coatings, plastics, printing inks, and decorative finishes.

Chromashift Optical Variable Pigments represent a sophisticated class of multi-layer interference materials. Utilizing a high-purity silica substrate combined with aluminum and iron layers, these pigments produce a sharp, definitive color shift and intense color travel. Unlike standard pearls, Chromashift offers a powerful flowing effect, providing premium visual depth for high-end industrial, automotive, and anti-counterfeiting applications.

Thermochromic Pigments change color in response to temperature, either transitioning from colored to colorless or shifting between two colors at a defined activation temperature. Kolortek's KTP series covers three sub-categories: colored-to-colorless, colored-to-another-color, and a BPA-free food-grade series. Particle size is 1–10 µm, suitable for inks, coatings, plastics, and cosmetic formulations where a heat-responsive color effect is required.

Photochromic Pigments change color in response to UV light exposure, transitioning from a pale or near-colorless state indoors to a saturated color within seconds of UV exposure, then reversing when the UV source is removed. The KPMC series is available in multiple colors with a particle size of 1–10 µm, suitable for inks, coatings, plastics, and cosmetic formulations where a UV-activated color response is required.

Fluorescent pigments — also referred to as neon pigments — produce colors that appear significantly brighter than conventional pigments under the same lighting conditions. This is because they absorb UV and short-wavelength visible light and re-emit it as visible fluorescence, adding emitted light to reflected light. The result is a color intensity that standard pigments cannot achieve through reflection alone. Kolortek's fluorescent pigment series covers a range of neon colors for use in printing inks, coatings, plastics, cosmetics, and specialty applications.

Kolortek Holographic Chrome Pigments & Holo Flakes are light-diffractive colorants engineered to produce a liquid silver metallic appearance with a vibrant, rainbow-like prismatic effect. Composed of ultra-thin flakes with an aluminum core, these pigments act as high-intensity prisms that shift through the entire visible spectrum depending on the angle of light, delivering a sophisticated iridescent finish.

Glow in the Dark Pigments are phosphorescent powders that absorb light energy from natural or artificial sources and re-emit it as a visible glow in darkness. Unlike fluorescent pigments, which require a continuous light source to produce their effect, phosphorescent pigments store energy and release it gradually after the light source is removed. They are used across safety, decorative, cosmetic, and industrial applications where passive light emission in dark conditions is required.

3D Cat Eye Magnetic Pigments are nickel-chromium coated silica flake pigments with ferromagnetic properties that allow them to be oriented by an external magnet during the gel or curing phase of a coating. When a magnet is held over the wet surface, the particles align to create a three-dimensional band of reflected light that moves with the viewing angle — replicating the optical character of a cat's eye gemstone. Available in multiple color combinations, they are used primarily in nail gel systems and specialty decorative coatings.

Gold Bronze Pigments are metallic pigments produced from copper-zinc alloy (brass) through mechanical milling and surface chemical treatment. The alloy composition and milling process determine the final color tone — from pale gold through rich bronze to reddish copper — and the surface treatment improves oxidation resistance compared to untreated brass powder. Available from 200 mesh to 1500 mesh, they are used in decorative paints, printing inks, plastics, and specialty coatings where a warm metallic gold appearance is required.

Kolortek's Cosmetic Multicolor Pearl Pigment series covers seven sub-series built on natural mica, synthetic mica, calcium aluminum borosilicate, and blended substrates, each combined with cosmetic-grade colorants to produce a broad range of colored pearlescent effects. The series is formulated specifically for decorative cosmetic and personal care applications, with ingredient selection aligned to cosmetic regulatory requirements across multiple markets. Color options span from classic interference tones through vivid pigment-enhanced shades to diamond-sparkle borosilicate grades.

D&C Lakes are high-purity cosmetic-grade matte pigments designed for applications requiring intense color saturation without shimmer. Cosmetic Oxides are high-purity inorganic pigments manufactured specifically for personal care and cosmetic applications. 

Kolortek's Cosmetic Fillers & Treated Pigments range covers functional powder ingredients used in decorative and personal care formulations — including untreated fillers, UV filters, and surface-treated variants designed to improve dispersibility, reduce oil absorption, and enhance skin feel. Products span standard cosmetic fillers through silicone-treated, silane-treated, and amino acid-coated grades, allowing formulators to select the surface chemistry that best fits their formulation system and performance requirements.
