Product Overview

 

Geopearl® Crystal products are a range of premium quality pearlescent effect pigments. The characteristic shimmer of Geopearl® has been designed to match the unique lustre of natural pearls. The basic structure is a platelet of synthetic mica which is coated with a metal oxide. GEOTECH offers titanium dioxide, iron oxide and colour-coated pearlescent pigments. Synthetic products typically give a higher lustre than natural mica-based products.

Geopearl® Crystal pearlescent pigments provide unsurpassed performance in brightness and colour play from white to earth tone effects. This is a result of reflected, refracted and transmitted light patterns developed at the multiple interfaces between the layers. There are many colours available in a selection of particle size distributions: matte softness (1 – 5 µm) to scattering reflection (100 – 1000 µm).

Geopearl® Crystal pearlescent pigments are able to create an infinite range of visual effects that capture your eye and give unrivalled elegance to any finished product.

Geopearl® pigments are non-toxic, water- and solvent-resistant effect pigments. They are in compliance with the regulations for cosmetics, plastics and coatings. 

Besides the natural mica-based pigments GEOTECH's product portfolio of pearlescent pigments also contains a wide variety of synthetic micas (Geopearl® Crystal) and borosilicate pigments (Geodiamond®).
