Pearlescent Pigments are made of mica, natural, synthetic or borossilicate and can be surrounded by a layer of titanium dioxide and metallic oxides that provide high gloss and excellent surface finish. Pearlescent pigments can be used or applied in automotive paints, construction materials, varnishes, paints for application on leather, even synthetic ones, plastic compounds, rubber, ceramics, dyes, among other applications. |

Daylight Fluorescent Pigments (DFPs), are pigments that are stimulated by daylight to fluoresce, giving bright colours that can be used in a variety of different applications. They consist of fluorescent dyes encapsulated in resins or polymers to create fluorescent pigment powders. Fluorescent coloured objects are seen three times earlier than objects coloured with conventional pigments due to the fluorescent light given off, meaning they are utilised in applications where catching the eye is beneficial. These include cosmetics, sportswear, stationary, warning signs and safety gear. Packaging and advertising can also take advantage of drawing the eye more easily. As such, fluorescent pigments are available for several different materials, including paint, ink, oil and water. Many of the applications listed above make use of fluorescent pigments for plastics. |
