As designers try harder to dazzle customers with color, they will increasingly turn to metallic powders. There are important differences in how those powders are made.
A metallic powder coating is defined as a coating that produces a metallic, sparkle, pearlescent or glitter appearance. Metallic coatings contain special-effect pigments, such as aluminum, bronze, zinc, stainless steel and pearlescent micas. Aluminum is the most important metallic pigment and the most widely used. These pigments are combined with base powders to produce metallic powder coatings.
