Natural – Pearlescent Pigment

Colour Pearlescent Pigments

A selection of pearlescent pigments with strong colour effect, a high degree of light fastness (non-fading) and excellent tolerance to a wide temperature and pH range. They also have good chemical resistance. We have selected these pigments specifically because they have these properties so they are perfect for all resins, candle making, plastics, fibre glass, lacquer, jewellery making adding to clear paints, clear glues and many other arts, crafts and industrial applications.

Coated Mica Pearlescent Pigments that impart a beautiful metallic hue & lustre and are widely used in resins.

If you are looking to create special effects then pearlescent pigments may be just what you need. They look best when added into totally clear mediums such as resins. Many people ask us if they can add them into paint. In any normal paint the effect will be dull due to the opaque nature of paints and the fact that final dry paint films are very thin. As paints are applied only in a thin film, only true metallic pigments such as aluminium pigments give sufficient hiding power and lustre to give a good effect.

Pearlescent Pigments are made by coating small plate shaped particles of mica, synthetic mica or glass with various compounds. All pigments in this section are based on coated mica. A superior (but more expensive) type of pearlescent pigment is based on coated glass.
