pearl pigment

KT-215 is a red pearl interference mica pigment from the KT-200 Interference Series — a natural mica grade with a medium-layer rutile TiO₂ coating that selectively reflects red-phase wavelengths through thin-film interference. The powder appears white in bulk form; the red pearl color becomes visible when applied over dark or transparent substrates. For cosmetics, nail lacquer, decorative coatings, and printing inks where a clean red iridescent pearl is the target effect, KT-215 delivers consistent interference color determined by coating thickness rather than dye or pigment chemistry — which means the color does not fade or bleed over time in the same way organic colorants do.

KT-201 is a satin gold interference mica pigment in the fine 5–25μm particle size range — a natural mica grade from the KT-200 Interference Series with a thicker rutile TiO₂ coating than standard silver white grades, tuned to produce a gold interference color through selective light interference. At this particle size, the effect reads as a smooth, satin-character gold luster suitable for printing inks, fine cosmetics, and coating applications where a soft, even gold pearl finish is required. The gold interference color appears distinctly on dark or transparent substrates; on white or complementary-colored bases, the effect is significantly diminished — a substrate dependency that formulators must account for during development.

Kolortek Interference Series pigments are engineered to produce distinct iridescent colors through the precision control of light interference. Unlike standard silver-white pearls, these pigments utilize a thicker layer of Titanium Dioxide to selectively reflect specific wavelengths—resulting in vibrant Gold, Red, Violet, Blue, and Green highlights. Available in both natural mica (KT-200) and synthetic fluorphlogopite (KT-7200) substrates, they offer high-performance color-shifting effects for premium industrial and cosmetic applications.

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.

KT-500 is a Bronze natural mica metallic pigment in the 10–60μm particle size range — a mica flake coated with iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) that produces a warm bronze metallic luster with strong opacifying/concealing properties and high chemical and physical stability. Unlike the KT-300 Gold Series which combines TiO₂ and iron oxide for a pearlescent gold effect, the KT-500 Metal Luster Series uses iron oxide alone on the mica substrate — producing a more opaque, warm metallic character with higher covering power and a distinctly different visual weight. At 10–60μm, KT-500 covers coatings, cosmetics, nail lacquer, soap, epoxy, and decorative craft applications from a single grade.

KT-7423 Synstar Orange is a synthetic Fluorphlogopite mica pearlescent pigment in the standard 10–60μm particle size range that delivers a warm orange absorption color at side and diffuse viewing angles alongside a silver-white specular reflection at the direct angle

KT-7419A is a Flash Purple synthetic Fluorphlogopite mica pearlescent pigment in the 10–100μm particle size range — the coarser flash-grade variant of KT-7419 Synstar Purple, designed for applications where visible individual-platelet purple sparkle is required alongside background pearl coverage. 

KT-7405 Synstar Red Blue is a synthetic Fluorphlogopite mica pearlescent pigment in the 10–60μm particle size range that produces a dual red-blue absorption color alongside a silver-white specular reflection — a color-complex grade that sits outside the standard single-hue range of the KT-7000 Multicolor Series. 

KT-6057 is a Flash Green natural mica pearlescent pigment in the 10–100μm particle size range — the coarser-format green grade in the KT-6000 Multicolor Series, optimized for applications where visible individual-platelet green sparkle is required alongside the silver specular reflection characteristic of the series. The 10–100μm distribution spans both the fine fraction (contributing green pearl background coverage) and the coarse fraction (contributing visible individual flash points) — producing a green pearl surface with pronounced sparkle that the standard 10–60μm grade does not achieve at equivalent loading. Epoxy flooring, decorative coatings, nail lacquer, and craft resin are the primary application contexts.

KT-6040 is an Ocean Blue natural mica pearlescent pigment — a colored mica grade from the KT-6000 Multicolor Series that produces a rich ocean blue absorption color at side and diffuse viewing angles, with a silver-white specular reflection at the direct reflection angle. At the standard 10–60μm particle size, it delivers a balanced blue pearl shimmer for coatings, nail lacquer, soap, epoxy systems, and decorative applications. Multiple particle size grades are available — from 5–25μm for printing inks and fine cosmetics to 30–150μm for bold sparkle in epoxy and craft resin — making Ocean Blue adaptable across a broad range of application methods and visual targets.

KT-6025 is a True Red natural mica pearlescent pigment in the 10–60μm particle size range — a colored mica grade from the KT-6000 Multicolor Series, produced by depositing a light-absorbing red colorant layer on a TiO₂-coated mica substrate. The result is a dual-effect visual: a silver-white reflection at the specular viewing angle and a saturated red absorption color at side and diffuse angles. At 10–60μm, KT-6025 suits coatings, nail lacquer, decorative applications, soap, and epoxy systems where a clean, high-chroma red pearlescent effect is required across a range of substrates.
