Their pearl luster and mother-of-pearl effects are used particularly in fashion accessories. The Biflair® range was developed especially for use in unsaturated polyester resins, and creates silver-white luster effects of unrivaled brilliance on buttons, for example. In offset, flexo, and gravure printing and pressure processes, the product family's easy handling and homogeneous pigment distribution on the print sheet make it stand out – for a shining appearance in packaging and brochures.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Biflair® products are pastes with effect pigments based on bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl), which is extracted in a special crystallization process. With their brilliance and deep effect, the luster of BiOCl crystals cannot be matched by pearlescent pigments made from mica platelets. Thanks to their square or octagonal shape of platelets and tight particle size distribution, the semitransparent crystals form an even, fine appearance with soft, subtle luster effects. Biflair® pigment pastes are available in a range of dispersions for a wide variety of binder systems.
- Nonleafing pigment
- Based on nontoxic, synthetically produced bismuth oxychloride
- Platelets have a defined symmetrical shape and a narrow particle size distribution
