IRIODIN PIGMENT APPLICATION

Iriodin pearl lustre pigments are classified according to different particle sizes and the colour individual pigments produce. Particle size plays an important role, hence the importance. MERCK KGaA has established stringent quality control and hence the particle sizes are maintained batch to batch.
PARTICLE SIZE RANGE EFFECT PRODUCED
LESS THAN 15 MICRON MATT SATINY LUSTRE
5 – 25 MICRONS SATINY LUSTRE
10 – 60 MICRONS BRILLIANT LUSTRE
10 – 100 MICRONS AND ABOVE GLITTER EFFECT

IRIODIN PIGMENT APPLICATIONS:

  • PLASTICS
  • PRINTING INK
  • PAINTS
  • LATEX
  • TEXTILE PRINTING
  • POWDER COATING

IRIODIN FOR USE IN PLASTIC APPLICATIONS:

  • IRIODIN can be used in all transparent / translucent plastic resins like Polycarbonate,
    Polypropylene, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Styrene Acrylo Nitrite (SAN),
    General purpose polystyrene (GPPS), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).
  • Not suitable in opaque plastic resin
