White Pearlescent Pigments

White pearlescent pigments offer the versatility to mimic various textures such as fibres, marble, and even wool. Often chosen by designers aiming for sophistication, the silk effect provided by these pigments resembles expensive shimmering materials.

The fundamental structure of pearlescent pigments consists of a platelet of natural or artificial mica coated with one or more metal oxide layers. Intricate patterns are formed through phases of reflection, refraction, and light transmission between these layers.

The white series of Pearlescent Pigments by ChemTech encompasses a wide range of shades, from the natural yellowish-grey tones of mica to vibrant pure whites crafted from artificial mica. Moreover, you can choose from a diverse spectrum of brightness levels, ranging from matte opacity to radiant shimmer.

The selection presented is just a fraction of our extensive portfolio. Should you require something truly unique, our Production Site in Riga stands ready to tailor solutions exclusively for your needs.

CT Interference

Interference pigments are among the most optically sophisticated special effects. Unlike usual colour shades that absorb some of the incident light or metallic coatings that reflect it, interference pigments involve light waves that are shifted together due to reflections and refractions, showing the brilliance in all their glory.

The brightness of Interference Pigments ChemTech will capture your imagination. Their effects range from soft hues in shining formulations to more intense colours with dark backgrounds spicing up any surface design. Saturated shades combined with iridescent inclusions will create an original outline that will be impossible to look away from!

CT Chameleon

Chameleons are one of the most advanced effect pigments in the design world! Their colours change depending on the angle you are looking at them. The more hooks or facets you use, the more dramatic and cosmic effect you will see. On broad, smooth surfaces, you will also observe a shift; depending on the light, the result will be more subtle.

Unlike traditional pearlescent pigments, our saturated Chameleon Pigments from ChemTech with super tiny particle sizes have a mirror effect, allowing you to use a minimal amount to get a solid colour-shifting effect. Conversely, coarse and flaky pieces deliver a captivating shimmer, accentuated by enchanting shade shifts.

Fluorescent pigments, renowned for their ability to emit brighter and more vivid colours under light stimulation, surpass conventional pigments in luminosity. Engineered to deliver striking, intense hues, they are ideal for applications demanding eye-catching vibrancy and uniform colour distribution.

Luminous Pigments

Pigments that absorb photons from sunlight or artificial light and emit them later are known as luminous, luminescent, phosphorescent, or glow-in-the-dark. This absorption and subsequent emission process, which gradually diminishes, can repeat over a cyclical period of more than 30 years.

Luminous pigments boast environmental friendliness and human safety, making them suitable for specialized cosmetics and emergency lighting applications, such as in airplanes, where they resist fading from sunlight and extreme weather conditions.

ChemTech offers Luminous Pigments in various particle sizes, base and emitting colours, glow time, providing versatility for a range of applications. The products featured here represent just a fraction of our extensive portfolio. Feel free to approach us for more options.

Thermochromic Pigments

Pigments that exhibit colour changes in response to temperature variations are known as thermochromic pigments. Encapsulated with liquid crystals, these pigments can be seamlessly blended with paints, varnishes, inks, resins, rubbers, and more, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional versatility.

Thermochromic pigments come in two main types: reversible and irreversible. Reversible pigments revert to their original colour when the temperature changes, while irreversible pigments cannot regain their hue after heating.

Thermochromic Pigments ChemTech have different activation temperatures (from -10ºC to +70ºC) for colour to bleached (translucent white). With diverse applications, these pigments provide innovative solutions for various industries. For the latest information, feel free to contact us.

Photochromic Pigments

Photochromic pigments constitute a captivating group of colorants that dynamically alter their reflected hue upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Their unique ability to transform under such conditions has garnered significant attention. These pigments consist of micro-encapsulated powder, where molecules undergo a change in shape and colour in response to radiation. Depending on the formulation, they can exhibit transparency or coloration, appearing vivid in sunlight and reverting when UV exposure ceases.

Photochromic Pigments ChemTech come in particle sizes ranging from 3 to 12 microns, offering a diverse spectrum of colours with profound effects. With their versatile applications, these pigments provide exciting opportunities for various industries. For the latest information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
