Plastics processing places more demanding constraints on pigment performance than most other effect pigment applications. Injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding expose pigments to temperatures between 180°C and 320°C depending on the polymer system — a range that eliminates mos...
Craft and art applications — epoxy resin art, fluid painting, candle making, model painting, leather finishing, tumblers, and mixed media — are among the most visually effect-driven uses of pigment powders. Effect pigments define the work: the shimmer in a resin pour, the color shift in...
