Characteristics
Platelet-shaped, optically
variable effect pigment
based on a purely organic
polymer network with liquid
crystalline structure.
Special Characteristics
• Color reflection
with blue-ultraviolet color
transition (frontal–oblique
angle of view)
• Deep gloss and
high brilliance
Application
Paints, powder coatings,
cosmetic preparations,
coloration of plastics
and coatings
Product Data
• Pigments acts as
a light separator: no absorption
of light, only reflection
and transmission
• Highly transparent
• No body color
• Easily dispersible
in all kinds of media
• Fully extrudable
Processing
Sands' Color Shift pigments
are characterized by extremely
simple dispersion in all
media, and a pronounced
color flop effect in combination
with absorbent media. The
transparency of these pigments
and its selective color
reflection, depending on
the angle of view, make
it ideal for the creation
of a wide range of effect
colors by application in
a transparent binder to
differently colored substrates
(multi-layer structure).
In one-coat applications,
the absorbing pigment should
be carefully chosen so
as not to hide Sands' Color
Shift Pigments and thereby
cancel its effect. Sands'
Color Shift Pigments can
be combined with all conventional
colorants or other Color
Shift Pigments.
