Wholesale Silver White pearl pigment from China supplier
Wholesale silver white pearl pigment from China combines the brilliant metallic luster of TiO₂-coated mica with factory-direct pricing and flexible bulk ordering. Our KT-100 Silver White series spans particle sizes from 5 µm satin finishes to 200 µm coarse sparkle grades, serving automotive basecoats, decorative coatings, plastics, and printing inks where a clean, bright silver-white effect is required at scale.
Particle size determines the balance between opacity and sparkle intensity. In our application lab, we frequently see formulators default to mid-range grades (10–60 µm) for general-purpose coatings, but both finer and coarser options solve specific problems.
| Model Code | Particle Size (µm) | Effect Character | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| KT-101 | 5–25 | Satin Silver White | High-coverage coatings, cosmetics (smooth finish) |
| KT-100 | 10–60 | Silver White Pearl | General-purpose coatings, plastics, inks |
| KT-103 | 10–60 | Rutile Silver White | Automotive basecoat, outdoor coatings (high brightness, weather-resistant) |
| KT-110 | 10–60 | Bright Silver White | Decorative paints, craft supplies |
| KT-111 | 10–100 | Flash Silver White | Moderate sparkle coatings |
| KT-113 | 20–100 | Sparkle Silver White | High-sparkle decorative finishes |
| KT-123 | 30–200 | Super Sparkle Silver | Coarse-glitter coatings, art supplies |
| KT-153 | 20–100 | Glitter White | Decorative coatings, screen printing |
For applications requiring TiO₂-free labeling (certain cosmetic or food-contact zones), KT-SS0300 delivers pure mica flake in the 10–60 µm range without the titanium dioxide coating.
All KT-100 series pearlescent pigments share a natural muscovite mica substrate coated with titanium dioxide. The coating creates interference effects that produce the characteristic silver-white luster. KT-103 uses a rutile TiO₂ + SnO₂ layer instead of anatase, raising the refractive index and delivering both higher brightness and better UV stability for outdoor applications.
One thing to note: particle-size distribution directly affects how light scatters. Finer grades (5–25 µm) give smoother, more opaque films with less sparkle. Coarser grades (30–200 µm) sacrifice some coverage but produce dramatic sparkle and depth, especially under direct or moving light sources.
Silver-white pearl is the foundation of most automotive white basecoats. From our experience supporting automotive coating customers, KT-103 Rutile Silver White is the go-to grade: the rutile coating delivers the brightness OEMs expect, and the weather resistance meets multi-year outdoor exposure requirements. The 10–60 µm particle range balances smooth application with visible sparkle under sunlight.
General-purpose decorative paints typically use KT-100 or KT-110 in water-based or solvent-based acrylic systems. These grades are compatible with alkyd, polyester, and epoxy resins as well. For high-sparkle accent walls or feature coatings, KT-113 (20–100 µm) or KT-123 (30–200 µm) add visible glitter without requiring a separate glitter additive.
Bulk silver white pearlescent pigment integrates into PE, PP, ABS, and PVC masterbatch for injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. The 800 °C heat stability accommodates most polymer processing temperatures. Typical loading in masterbatch concentrate ranges from 10–40%, then let down to 0.5–3% in the final part depending on desired effect intensity.
Offset, gravure, flexographic, and screen inks all accommodate pearl pigment when particle size is controlled. For fine-line detail and smooth lay-down, stay below 60 µm (KT-100, KT-110). For decorative or security printing where sparkle is a design feature, coarser grades like KT-153 work well in screen-printing applications.
We offer cosmetic-grade options formulated to meet US FDA color-additive frameworks and EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requirements. The KT-100 series is suitable for pressed powders, eyeshadows, highlighters, and nail lacquers. Final regulatory compliance depends on the selected grade and intended use; contact our technical team for composition documentation and heavy-metal test data specific to your market.
Kolortek maintains a direct cross-reference program with Merck's Iriodin® product line to simplify formulation transitions. Each KT-100 series grade maps to a specific Iriodin model with equivalent particle size and coating structure:
Our manufacturing in China allows us to offer competitive wholesale pricing with batch-to-batch color consistency verified by spectrophotometer and maintained through ISO 9001:2015 quality-management protocols. We ship in flexible pack sizes from 1 kg lab samples to 1-ton bulk orders for production-scale formulation.
All KT-100 series pigments are manufactured under low heavy-metal control protocols, with test reports provided on request. ISO 9001:2015 certification covers production and sales across our entire effect-pigment portfolio. REACH registration applies to synthetic mica substrates (fluorphlogopite); for natural mica-based grades like KT-100, product-specific confirmation is available from our compliance team.
Safety data sheets (SDS/MSDS) ship with every order. For cosmetic applications, we provide composition documents aligned with regulatory frameworks in the US, EU, and other major markets, though final suitability determination remains the responsibility of the brand or formulator.
What is the difference between KT-100 and KT-103 Rutile Silver White?
Both are 10–60 µm silver-white pearl pigments on natural mica. KT-100 uses anatase TiO₂ coating; KT-103 uses rutile TiO₂ + SnO₂. The rutile version delivers higher brightness, better weather resistance, and improved UV stability, making it the preferred choice for automotive basecoats and outdoor applications. KT-100 works well for indoor decorative coatings and general-purpose plastics where cost matters more than maximum durability.
Can I use pearl pigment wholesale orders for cosmetic formulations?
Yes, provided you select a cosmetic-grade variant and verify compliance with your target market regulations. Our KT-100 series includes options manufactured to meet US FDA color-additive requirements and EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009. Heavy-metal content is controlled across all grades, but final regulatory clearance depends on the specific model and intended use (e.g., eye area, lip area, general skin). Request composition documentation and test reports specific to the grade you plan to use.
What particle size should I choose for automotive coatings vs printing inks?
Automotive basecoats typically use 10–60 µm grades (KT-100 or KT-103) for a balance of coverage and sparkle. Printing inks require finer control: offset and gravure work best with particles under 60 µm to avoid clogging screens and ensure smooth lay-down, while screen printing can handle coarser grades like KT-153 (20–100 µm) when sparkle is a design goal. In practice, test dispersion in your specific ink vehicle before committing to bulk orders.
Is there a minimum order quantity for wholesale bulk silver white pearlescent pigment from China?
Standard wholesale pack sizes start at 25 kg per grade, but we accommodate smaller lab-sample orders (1–5 kg) for formulation trials. For production-scale customers, we offer flexible packaging from 25 kg drums to 500 kg or 1-ton bulk bags. Contact our sales team to discuss your volume requirements and delivery schedule.

At 10–100μm, KT-152 spans the particle size range where silver mica pigment transitions from a smooth pearl coverage into a flash silver effect — individual platelet reflections become visible to the eye, giving coatings, epoxy floors, and decorative surfaces a pronounced sparkle that finer grades cannot produce. The wider distribution makes it a practical single-grade specification for applications where both coverage continuity and visible flash are required simultaneously, without the surface texture limitations of coarser 40–200μm grades.

KT-153 is a glitter white pearlescent mica powder in the 20–100μm particle size range — a natural mica grade coated with rutile TiO₂ that produces a bright, glitter-like silver-white sparkle in coatings, epoxy systems, nail products, and decorative applications. At this distribution, the lower size cut removes the very fine fraction that contributes to background pearl coverage, concentrating the visual output toward individual platelet flash reflections — the result is a more glitter-like sparkle character than a standard 10–60μm silver white grade, without the surface texture limitations of purely coarse 40–200μm grades.

KT-163 is a shimmer pearl natural mica pigment powder in the 40–200μm particle size range — one of the coarser grades in the KT-100 Silver White Series, designed for applications where visible, bold individual-platelet sparkle is the target effect rather than smooth coverage pearl. At this distribution, individual mica platelets coated with rutile TiO₂ are large enough to produce distinct, directional flash reflections visible to the naked eye, giving epoxy floors, countertops, decorative coatings, and craft resin applications a pronounced shimmer that finer pearl grades cannot replicate. For formulators who need a coarse silver white pearl with reliable batch-to-batch sparkle intensity, KT-163 covers the upper-brightness end of the KT-100 natural mica range.

Silver white pearlescent pigments are the workhorse of the effect pigment world. They underpin everything from automotive basecoats to nail polish, and the formulation logic behind them hasn't changed much in decades: mica flakes coated with titanium dioxide, tuned by particle size and TiO₂ crystal form to deliver a specific balance of whiteness, brightness, and sparkle. What has changed is the supply landscape.

Silver white pearlescent pigments are one of the most specified effect pigments across coatings, plastics, printing, and cosmetics — and KT-100 is Kolortek's direct-working equivalent to Iriodin 100. Same mica-titanium dioxide platform, same particle size range, same optical behavior. If your formulation was built around Iriodin 100, KT-100 slots in without reformulation. That said, "equivalent" doesn't mean identical in every edge case. What it means practically: the substrate, platelet morphology, and refractive index are comparable enough that you won't be redesigning your process to accommodate it.
