Need to Know
- The effect pigment uses titanium-dioxide-coated synthetic mica with a chrome-free surface treatment for weathering resistance and durability.
- Its particle-size distribution ranges from 2 to 15 µm, with a D50 of 7 µm, and is designed for a satin white effect with a bluish reflection.
Sun Chemical has expanded its Glacier effect-pigment family with Glacier Exterior Ceramic White S1303M, a synthetic-mica-based pigment designed to provide a subtle satin effect in intensely pure white shades.
The pigment is based on transparent synthetic mica flakes coated with titanium dioxide and uses Sun Chemical’s chrome-free surface treatment technology for improved weathering resistance and durability. It has a particle-size range of 2 to 15 µm, with a D50 of 7 µm.
Sun Chemical says the pigment provides a bluish tint, high distinctness of image and subtle sparkle. Suggested uses include white tri-coats, metallic blacks and other achromatic shades in automotive, powder and coil coating applications.
