StarLight® is a special effect pigment based on MicroMirror® Technology, a silver coating on a glass substrate, using a novel manufacturing process.
The perfectly flat and uniform glass flake pigment substrate maximizes directional reflection so each particle acts like a mirror and provides a dramatic appearance.
StarLight pigments have a brilliant sparkle and shine, maximum light reflectivity, are resistant to tarnish, and can be used in many applications.
One-of-a-kind appearances and stylings can be created with these pigments in conjunction with colored pigments, to enhance every possible application.
The perfectly flat glass flake substrate maximizes reflection and provides a solid base for the metallic appearance.
The metallic silver coating is passivated to prevent it from tarnishing when exposed to water or weathering.
StarLight® glass flake pigments will sparkle and surpass the brilliance and luster of other effect pigments currently available.
The perfectly flat, uniform glass flake pigment substrate maximizes reflection and provides a solid base for optimum metallic appearance and the MicroMirror® effect.
