Applications
From eye-catching automobiles to spectacular sports equipment to cutting-edge electronics, a wide variety of products are being designed with ChromaFlair and SpectraFlair pigments to create striking color-shifting effects that emphasize body contours, create a dynamic environment, or enhance a product in motion. These pigments can be easily added to paints, plastics, or textiles to achieve these dramatic and vivid effects.
Highly chromatic, durable and easy to incorporate, these pigments will add value and appeal to virtually any product where color is a key differentiating factor.
Professionals in automotive, plastics, and textile industries have demonstrated that ChromaFlair and SpectraFlair pigments easily incorporate into a wide range of paint, molding or coating processes to create distinctive color effects. Specify ChromaFlair and SpectraFlair pigments exclusively in your application to assure outstanding color saturation and the most vivid color effects. The opacity of our pigment flakes assures maximum coverage. ChromaFlair and SpectraFlair pigments also combine easily with conventional pigments or dyes to create unique, subtle yet sophisticated color styles.
ChromaFlair and SpectraFlair pigments mix easily in paint to create distinctive ColorShift effects. Paints formulated with these pigments are being widely used in the automotive and consumer products industries as well as a growing list of other products. These pigments are well suited to all types of applications. Basecoat, clearcoat, and tricoat systems have been formulated using solventborne, waterborne, and two-component refinish systems.
Use ChromaFlair and SpectraFlair pigments in plastics, either alone or combined with conventional pigments and dyes, to create ColorShift effects ranging from subtle to sensational. These pigments are capturing the designer's imagination and the consumer's eyes in a growing list of products now available.
ChromaFlair pigments in particular can be used in a wide range of plastics applications, including injection molding, blow molding and film extrusion, including in-mold decorative/appliqué, film insert molding and reactive in-mold coating.
For ChromaFlair, color saturation and color travel are greatest when the pigments are used with clear resin in combination with a smooth, high gloss part finish. The Plastic Application Guidelines, available at the Product and Technical Information area in the Customer Care section of this website, provides a list of generic polymer systems that have been successfully used in molding applications with ChromaFlair pigments.
ChromaFlair and SpectraFlair pigments have been used on textiles to create an animated dimension of color in motion. Silk-screen printing on fabric, heat transfers, direct pattern transfers to silk, paint spray on leather, and other application technologies are just a few of the possibilities for ChromaFlair and SpectraFlair pigments in textiles. Dramatic effects have also been created using ChromaFlair and SpectraFlair pigments on synthetic leather.
