1. Thermal Stability One of the most notable attributes of mica is its ability to withstand high temperatures without degradation. This property is particularly advantageous in automotive applications, as components are often subjected to extreme conditions.
The science behind color shift pearl pigments is just as fascinating as their aesthetic appeal. The iridescence effect arises from the interference of light waves as they reflect off the multiple layers of coating on the pigment particles. This phenomenon is similar to what happens in nature, such as the shimmering effects seen in butterfly wings or peacock feathers. It is this intricate relationship between light and material that enables the color shift effect to dazzle the eye and enchant the viewer.
What is Mica Powder?
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.
