Xymara XPS pearlescent effects pigments
Xymara XPS pearlescent effects pigments enhance the appearance and prolong the life of plastics. Traditional mica-based pearl pigments cause yellowing of plastic after exposure to light. This surface treatment stabilizes pearlescent pigments and inhibits yellowing. The Xymara series is suitable for use in a broad range of products, including cosmetics, bottles, jars, containers and many other functional and decorative items. The Silver Pearl XPS19 gives a white satin luster, and Silver Pearl XPS23 combines satin sheen with a discreet glitter; they can be used together and with other effects and colors to produce individual and exclusive designs. Other effects include Gold Pearl, Dual Pearl, Bronze Pearl and Xymara Nordic.

Pergasol anionic dyes
Pergasol anionic dyes are designed for coloration of fresh and recycled paper fibers, such as liners, sack paper and corrugated cardboard. Brown O dye minimizes backwater coloration and has a high affinity for paper fibers as well as excellent color constancy under various light sources. Orange FT is a bright orange-brown that provides the basis for highly cost-effective trichromatic dyeings.

XYMARA Fireball Pigment
The XYMARA Fireball “color-travel” effect pigment has very high durability, making it suitable for high-performance applications, including exterior automotive coatings and such consumer goods as mobile phones and electronic devices. This pigment highlights the shape of an object, and can vary its shade from orange/gold to deep cherry red, depending on the angle of observation. Its platelet character can add a discreet decorative sparkle when used in an effect color formulation. Inherent transparency makes it suitable for use in combination with different chromatic transparent pigments, as well as in multi-layer paint systems.
