How are chameleon pearl pigments used in plastics and what are the precautions?

There are many ways to color plastic resins with chameleon pearl pigments. We can not only directly color and solid-liquid color resins, but also make them into color masterbatches and then color them. Alternatively, we can mix the wetting agent with the resin and then add a dispersant and pearlescent pigment for blending. But among these coloring methods, the most effective method is to prepare the resin into a color masterbatch and then color it. It should be noted that the amount of pearl pigment in plastic is usually between 0.5% and 2%. If the purpose of plastic is to produce thin films and thin-walled products, we can appropriately increase the amount of pearl pigment and control it at 4% -5%.

When using chameleon pearlescent pigments in plastics, due to the transparency of the resin, the material color of the chameleon pigment also plays a very important role. On dark surfaces, particularly black ones, chameleon pigments can create a unique color effect that changes hues when viewed from different angles. In contrast, a white or grayish-white background will only result in a subtle color change with a flickering effect, as the background reflects the majority of the incident light.
