Blue/Violet Chameleon Pigment, 30–115μm – KT-97243

Pearlescent Pigments › Chameleon Series › Color Shift Pigments


KT-97243 is a blue/violet chameleon pigment in the 30–115μm particle size range, designed to deliver a visible angle-dependent color transition within the blue–violet spectrum. Based on transparent flake substrates coated with titanium dioxide, it produces a controlled color-travel effect with moderate sparkle due to its medium-coarse particle size. This grade is typically selected for decorative coatings, plastics, and specialty finishes where both color shift and flake visibility are required.


 

Product Positioning within Chameleon Series

KT-97243 belongs to the Kolortek Chameleon (color-shift) pigment range, positioned as a medium-to-coarse particle grade focused on combining color travel with visible flake structure. Compared with finer grades (<25μm) used in printing inks, this product emphasizes enhanced sparkle and dynamic reflection, making it more suitable for coatings, plastics, and molded applications where visual depth and movement are required.

Key Technical Features

  • Angle-dependent blue/violet color shift — controlled interference structure produces visible color variation under changing viewing angles
  • 30–115μm particle size — provides a balance between surface coverage and sparkle intensity
  • Transparent flake substrate — supports clean optical interference and stable color reflection
  • Non-metallic system — avoids conductivity issues associated with aluminum-based pigments
  • Broad system compatibility — suitable for solvent-based, water-based, and UV-curable systems with proper dispersion

Typical Applications

This particle size range is typically used where both color travel and flake visibility are desired:

  • Decorative coatings: architectural finishes, furniture coatings, and feature walls with dynamic light response
  • Plastics: injection molding and extrusion for consumer goods and housings requiring visual differentiation
  • Automotive refinish: custom effect coatings where subtle blue–violet shift is preferred over high-contrast combinations
  • Specialty finishes: synthetic leather, films, and design surfaces with directional color effects

Formulation Notes

Base color: As with all chameleon pigments, a dark or black base is required to achieve visible color travel. Light substrates will significantly reduce the effect.

Dispersion: Add during the letdown stage using low-shear mixing to maintain flake integrity. Excessive shear can reduce color shift performance.

Orientation: Spray application typically provides better platelet alignment compared to brushing, improving color travel clarity in coatings.

Why Work with Kolortek

With over 20 years of manufacturing experience, Kolortek supplies a full range of effect pigments with controlled particle size distribution and consistent optical performance. The chameleon series is produced with stable multi-layer coating processes, helping maintain batch-to-batch color consistency—a key requirement for industrial production. Technical support is available for pigment selection, formulation guidance, and application matching.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the advantage of using 30–115μm particle size?
A: This range provides increased sparkle and visual depth compared to fine grades, making it more suitable for coatings and plastics rather than printing applications.

Q: Can this pigment be used in water-based systems?
A: Yes, it is generally compatible with water-based binders. Proper rheology control is recommended to maintain uniform dispersion and prevent settling.

Q: Does it require a specific base color?
A: Yes. A dark or black base is necessary to achieve visible color shift. Light backgrounds will reduce or eliminate the effect.
