Materials and Processes
Natural mica
Substrate for pearlescent pigments such as Iriodin® 9627 for exterior coatings, e.g. on two-wheelers.
Synthetic mica
Ultra-pure substrate of the ChesCrystal series with high color intensity, reflection and narrow particle size distribution.
Titanium dioxide
Coating of the mica substrate to create pearlescent and interference effects.
Iron oxide
Coating component for gold- and iron-colored pigment series.
PBT
Carrier plastic for the antimony-free laser-marking pigment Iriotec® 8214 in E&E and automotive applications.
Evaporation materials
Fluorides, oxides, sulfides and metals in granule, tablet and disc form for optical thin films.
Polysilazane resins
Basis of protective coating solutions (Durazane®) for surfaces.
