merck xirallic replacement

KT-F60-51-WR Sparks Red is a coatings grade sparkle pigment built on an aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) crystal substrate — the same substrate chemistry used in Merck Xirallic effect pigments. At Kolortek, we developed the XiallicSparks series as a direct, 1:1 drop-in alternative, matching the 6–30 μm particle size range and the distinctive faceted brilliance that automotive and industrial coating formulators expect from Al₂O₃-based effect pigments, at factory-direct pricing typically 20–40% below Merck equivalents.
