A proprietary state-of-the-art, process and coating technology, developed by CQV is used to create pearlescent, iridescent, and metallic shades with the “maximum” level of chroma currently offered in the marketplace. The manufacturing technique leads to colors that are very highly saturated, clean, crisp, and bright.
Multiorora® products are based on synthetic mica coated with additional oxide layers each having a different refractive index. (Similar to Multiorora Axion® pigments using glass flake) The resulting optically variable (multi-color) effect is due to the fine tuning and separation of white light into its specific component wavelengths. They are then perceived by an observer with changes in viewing angle. Multiorora® can be used to develop truly unique eye-catching effects when applied over, or with other pigments in a formulation. They can also be used to impart a more “subtle nuance” to existing or new color formulations.
Reflex™ Color are a line of pigments in which absorption colorants (organic or inorganic) are coated onto the surface of TiO2 coated synthetic mica.
These combination absorption/interference pigments deliver both an absorption and interference component which may be similar or complimentary in hue, depending on the combination. These types of products can significantly expand the available color space for creating unique effects.
Adamas® effect pigments are based on high purity platy-alumina.
