Effect pigments in paints and coatings serve a broader range of applications than any other end-use industry — from automotive refinish basecoats and industrial machinery finishes to architectural interior feature walls, epoxy decorative floors, and powder coatings on consumer goods. In each...

Effect pigments in printing applications serve a different set of constraints than coatings or plastics. Film thickness in gravure and flexo printing is measured in microns — typically 2–8 µm per layer — which means only fine-particle pigment grades are physically compatible...

Edible glitter and luster dust are used in confectionery, cake decoration, beverages, and specialty food products to add visual shimmer and metallic effects that conventional food colorants cannot produce. Demand for these products has grown alongside the expansion of home baking, artisan confection...

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...
