Synthetic matte 2000 mesh:fine skin, matte effect.
The Process
Synthetic 120 mesh :large particle size, with pearl shining effect.
What sets mica pigment paint apart is its ability to create multi-dimensional, iridescent, or metallic effects depending on the angle of the light. The pigments are available in a variety of colors, from soft pastels to bold metallics, making it easy to achieve both subtle and dramatic effects. The reflective quality of mica pigment also ensures that painted surfaces catch the light in a way that adds vibrancy and depth to the design.

1. Preparation Make sure to work in a well-ventilated area and put on gloves and safety goggles. Epoxy resin can release fumes and may irritate the skin.
Take pearlescent pigments as an example, pearlescent pigments are a class of pigments with pearl luster, which are deposited on the substrate (generally natural mica, synthetic mica, glass sheet and other sheet-like materials) above a layer or alternately deposited multiple layers of metal oxides or non-metallic oxides and formed a flat sandwich body with a structure similar to sandwich. Due to the difference in refractive index between the substrate and the oxide deposited on its surface and each oxide, when the light shines on the surface of the pearlescent pigment, the incident light will be refracted and reflected at the interface of each layer of the pearlescent pigment, and the color of the pearlescent pigment that people see is the result of the superposition of light after multiple refractions and reflections of the light, that is, the interference phenomenon of light.
Later, with the development of science and technology, people gradually realized that mica minerals have high insulation, high temperature resistance, strong acid and alkali resistance, and mica also began to enter building materials, fire, plastics, paper, rubber, pearlite pigments and other industries. These are mainly Muscovite and phlogopite.
