Pearlescent Pigment FAQ Section
1. What is the shelf life of Pearlescent Pigments?
Pearlescent Pigments typically have a shelf life of 24 months when stored in their original packaging in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight. The pigments maintain their optical properties throughout this period if stored properly.
2. How do Pearlescent Pigments achieve their color effects?
The unique optical properties of Pearlescent Pigments come from multiple layers of metal oxides coated on mica substrates. These layers create interference effects that reflect and refract light differently depending on viewing angle, producing the characteristic pearlescent shine.
3. Can Pearlescent Pigments be mixed with other colorants?
Yes, Pearlescent Pigments can be combined with conventional pigments and dyes to create special effects. However, excessive addition of conventional colorants may reduce the pearlescent effect. We recommend testing different ratios to achieve the desired visual effect.
