Applications
One chemistry, five industries.
Effect pigments change how a surface is perceived. Where you use them decides which particle size, substrate and coating you need — each application page maps our series to your system.
The physics, in one picture
ANIMATED SCHEMATIC
One particle, five industries.
Every SHEENBOW grade starts as a synthetic-mica or silica core, coated with precision metal-oxide layers through PVD and multi-layer vacuum processes. Change the angle of light — the color travels. That single property powers everything below.
