SpectraFlair
SpectraFlair® pigment, introduced in 2002, is a multi-layer thin-film flake comprised of magnesium fluoride and aluminum. Precisely controlling the thickness and relief of the pigment’s flake structure produces the diffractive effect characteristic of SpectraFlair pigment. To maintain the diffractive effect, the layer thickness and three-dimensional relief of the pigment must be controlled to very precise tolerances.
SpectraFlair pigments are light diffractive colorants that generate the appearance of multiple, bright rainbow producing prisms moving over a liquid silver color. The combination of rainbow-like color, aluminum core, and high pigment flake diameter to thickness ratio of SpectraFlair pigments create the appealing, iridescent, liquid silver metallic appearance. The pigments change from a typical metallic appearance in low illumination, to vivid, multi-rainbow effects in direct bright light. SpectraFlair pigment is a neutral color that may be used as the sole colorant or combined with other pigments and dyes to create subtle, sophisticated dimensions for products and spaces.
Three particle size grades of SpectraFlair pigment are available for use in paints, coatings, plastics, inks and synthetic materials:
