Iriodin® is the classic effect pigment. The mica-based pearl luster pigments from Merck refine coatings for interior and exterior applications. In doing so, they create unique luster and color effects which otherwise only occur in nature – from silver-white, red and bronze-colored earth tones and interference to gold luster. The effect varies from silky smooth to glittery, depending on the particle size distribution. The interplay between transparency, refraction and multiple reflection determines the enormous variety of effects.
As shiny as pearl and mother-of-pearl
They certainly live up to their name: Iriodin® pearl luster pigments consist of thin platelets of the natural material mica, coated in a wafer-thin layer of metal oxide. This creates semi-transparent pigments which give a coating the soft, deep luster that is characteristic of pearls and mother-of-pearl. With its outstanding visual and technical properties, Iriodin® is used in a wide range of coating applications, especially in the automotive sector, architecture and other industrial sectors. Iriodin® pigments are also offered with an additional coating layer especially for exterior applications. These weather-resistant pigments thus fulfil the highest requirements of reproducibility and lasting color consistency. Iriodin® pearl luster pigments can be combined in a wide variety of ways with other colorings and a wide range of applications As well as coatings
Pyrisma® effect pigments from Merck are setting new standards in the world of interference effects, with extraordinary color saturation and color variety. Based on natural mica, this innovative pigment generation was developed especially for the requirements of the coating industry. It provides designers with new styling options while also offering technical performance and surface quality like never before.
Meoxal® F120-30 is the new member in the family of effect pigments from Merck. It captivates with its outstanding color saturation and exceptional brilliance. The individual particles, which are based on aluminum platelets, also create an elegant sparkle. With its innovative layer structure and optimized particle size distribution, Meoxal® can be applied in numerous coating applications – particularly in exterior applications and in the uncomplicated use in waterborne coating systems.
For exterior application use UV resistant: NEW Iriodin® 9300, Iriodin® 9323, Iriodin® 9307, Iriodin® 9327 and Meoxal® F120-30
