Gold Metallic Mica Pigment Powders

Kolortek 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.

KT-300 is a gold pearl pearlescent pigment built on natural mica coated with titanium dioxide and iron oxide — the iron oxide component is what separates the KT-300 Gold Series from the KT-200 interference grades, producing a warm gold body color that reads on any substrate without requiring a dark background. At 10–60μm, the particle size delivers a balanced gold pearl: warm, glossy, and three-dimensional in appearance, with a transparency and depth that copper-bronze metallic powders cannot produce. For formulators who need a reliable gold pearl across coatings, cosmetics, nail, soap, and epoxy applications, KT-300 is the standard natural mica specification in this color family.

KT-303 is a Royal Gold natural mica pearlescent pigment in the 10–60μm particle size range — a deeper, more saturated gold tone than the standard KT-300 Gold Pearl grade, achieved through a higher iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) loading on the TiO₂-coated mica platelet. The warm, orange-toned gold body color is visible on any substrate without requiring a dark base — a key practical advantage over interference-only gold grades. At 10–60μm, KT-303 covers cosmetics, nail lacquer, decorative coatings, soap, and epoxy resin applications from a single grade specification.

KT-351 is a Flash Gold natural mica pearlescent pigment in the 10–100μm particle size range — the coarser-format gold grade in the KT-300 series, designed for applications where visible individual-platelet gold sparkle is the target effect rather than smooth pearl coverage. The iron oxide and TiO₂ coating on each mica platelet produces a warm gold body color visible on any substrate, while the 10–100μm distribution delivers a flash-sparkle character that distinguishes it from the standard 10–60μm gold pearl grades. For epoxy flooring, decorative resin, craft applications, and nail lacquer where bold gold shimmer intensity matters, KT-351 is the appropriate specification within the KT-300 series.

KT-355 is a Glitter Gold natural mica pearlescent pigment in the 20–120μm particle size range — the glitter-dominant gold grade in the KT-300 series, optimized for epoxy flooring, resin art, decorative coatings, craft applications, and nail lacquer where visible individual-platelet gold sparkle is the primary visual requirement. By starting at 20μm rather than 10μm, KT-355 removes the fine background pearl fraction present in KT-351 Flash Gold, concentrating the visual energy toward bold, individual gold flash reflections. The iron oxide and TiO₂ coating produces a warm gold body color visible on any substrate without requiring a dark base — practical for the broad range of base colors encountered in epoxy and decorative applications.
