Chameleon Powders

Chameleon powder is manufactured with a new type of highly transparent flaky synthetic mica as the substrate, based on biomimetic principles. Through complex and fine optical calculation, the coating process of hydrolytic nano deposition of hydrothermal chemical sol gel is adopted. In addition, the multi-layer overlay coating technology is applied. The coating thickness of metal oxides is controlled accurately. Chameleon pearl powder features high color density and wide color gamut.

It is characterized by brilliant luster, colorful dynamic effects (optically variable effects), high stability and safety but without toxicity. It is named after its sensory color change like that of chameleons.

The thickness of the optical chameleon film meets the condition for light interference. When the optical chameleon film is irradiated by light, a series of light interference effects will occur, and the color changes along with the observation angle. The optical chameleon film can be changed into chameleon pigments by crushing and other processes.

Chameleon powder is a kind of thin sheet in micrometers. It is made with ultra-thin multi-layer interference film. If features opacity, thinness, flatness, and high reflectivity. Its color changes due to the interference of light waves. The power has excellent mirror effect, high saturation, and extremely high chromaticity.

Chameleon powder can be used together with aluminum powder, carbon black, and other materials to produce various color effects. However, these pigments reduce the saturation of coating color. Transparent pigments has the best effect of color saturation. They do not affect the light interference effect on the surface, so the color saturation will not be affected.

Chameleon powder can be applied in the following products:

Coatings: solvent-based coatings, water-based coatings, powder coatings, plastic coatings, vehicle topcoats, leather coatings, sports equipment coatings, handicraft coatings.

Plastic: cosmetics packages, decorative materials, synthetic leather, toys, packaging supplies, high-end daily necessities.

Cosmetics: eye shadow, lip gloss, nail polish, hair spray.Printing ink: silk screen printing ink, gravure printing ink, art ink, anti-counterfeiting ink.

Chameleon power are divided into transparent and colorful types. It has the best pearl effect on black substrates.

Pearl powder is a kind of non-metallic pigment with stable chemical properties, so its safety can be guaranteed. Chameleon pearl pigment can be separately used in cosmetics packages. It can also be mixed with transparent paste to produce a kind of chameleon paste. Through screen printing, gravure printing, or flexographic printing, packages will have elegant candlelight luster and metallic effect.

Chameleon pearl powder is a kind of composite pigment. It is made by applying a layer of transparent color pigment to absorb certain light waves on the surface of interference type pearl powder particles.

Products containing this material has colorful effects in the vertical (front view) and lateral (especially in the direction almost parallel to the coating) direction. It presents the effects of two colors.

This optical phenomenon results from simultaneous interference and absorption of incident light. It has the distinctive and peculiar optically variable effects and dynamic color change effects.
