2 2 Experience a new world of white - the whiter white effect pigments by BASF Calm, cool, sophisticated BASF effect pigments The visual serenity, purity and security of white provides a desirable mood of calmness and cool sophistication. For years now, white has dominated color design in many industries, from fashion to automotive. And there is no sign of this trend declining in popularity. At BASF, we have taken white effect pigment chemistry to a new level, enabling formulators to create a wide range of previously unachievable white surface appearances. Glacier effect pigments represent the latest generation of pearls, based on synthetic mica flakes coated with titanium dioxide. Their pearlescent white effects characterized by a cool, bluish reflection color appear dazzling white to the eye. Comparison between synthetic mica and natural mica synthetic mica Exceptional opportunities to capture the cool beauty of white with extraordinary luster and brilliance, that s because at BASF, we create chemistry. natural mica Synthetic mica is absolutely transparent and without any natural impurities such as iron

The latter is treated with BASF s established chrome-free surface treatment (CFS) technology for improved weathering and durability. What makes products so attractive? Quite simply, they are the whitest effect pigments currently available. They offer higher luster and brightness than traditional pigments as well as outstanding sparkle effects. The series by BASF opens up a whole new world of styling options. Using these innovative effect pigments, you can create everything from clean, brilliant whites and cool, timelessly modern grays, charcoals and blacks, to more intense greens, blues and reds. If you desire sparkle, they also provide an excellent economic alternative to high-priced glass flakes. What are the best applications for products? pigments work both by themselves and by adding increased luster to other colors in all coating and printing applications. exterior grades are ideal for automotive coatings (fine grades only), consumer electronics, powder and coil coatings. Standard grade pigments are especially effective in consumer electronics, household goods, sporting goods as well as cosmetic and personal care packaging. They can also be used to create dramatic effects in decorative architectural applications such as wall coverings and interior paints. To achieve colors never before obtainable, you need to formulate using pigments never before available. Allow us to provide expert guidance as we explore the possibilities together. The four effect pigments that make up the series are differentiated according to particle size: Silk White ~ 6 µm ~ 12 µm ~ 21 µm Frost White ~ 9 µm ~ 19 µm ~ 35 µm Crystal White ~ 15 µm ~ 30 µm ~ 55 µm Sparkle White ~ 32 µm ~ 62 µm ~ 108 µm
