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.
