Color Shift Pigments

Description

Sands-Secure® COLOR SHIFT organic and inorganic pigments use optical reflective effects to display distinct color changes depending on the angle viewed.  These pigments can be used independently to create paints, inks, coatings, etc., or combined with pigments of other colors to yield an exceptional range of color shift possibilities. 

Application Suggestions

Paints, inks, powder coatings, plastics and packaging.  Sands-Secure® color shift pigments are characterized by extremely simple dispersion in all media, and yield an exceptional range of color shift possibilities when combined with other colored pigments.  The color shift makes it ideal for the creation of a wide range of effect colors by application in a transparent binder.  In one-coat applications, the substrate base color can be chosen to modify or mute the impact of the color shift.
