Preparations

Clean and dry surface.  Ensure surface to be coated is free of all dirt, grease, oil, paint, curing agents and other contaminants. Removal of Oil Contamination by degreaser and alkaline cleaning pressure wash

Acid-wash to enhanced surface porosity and etch the surface

Ensure moisture free surface.  Allow to completely dry, run Dry Test.  Place a piece of plastic over a small area, tape the edges and leave for 1 hour.  Remove plastic, if there is no moisture on either surface, concrete is sufficiently dry.

Ideally, always consider surface grinding and removal of loose materials.  Grinding is always advisable prior to application of all Shimicoat Epoxy products, to maximize adhesion.

Pearlescent Metallic Pigments:

SHIMICOAT Metallic Pearlescent Pigments

For Special Effect Resurfacing Systems

SHIMICOAT Metallic Pearlescent Pigments are special luster effect pigments composed of mica nano-particles coated with various inorganic pigments to create metallic effects that mimic the natural look of stone, marble, granite and rock formations.  These unique pigments are designed to be blended with our 100% solids clear Epoxy resins.  When the metallic particles are mixed with epoxy, they give the coating a shine and gleam that reflects light and creates eye-catching dramatic effects.

Metallic Pearl Powder Pigments in Epoxy:

Metallic Pearlescent Pigments are commonly used in epoxy coating systems as the mid coat (second coat) over the primer/basecoat Epoxy.  Metallic pigments should be mixed with clear epoxy and installed over an epoxy tinted base coat.  The most popular basecoats are Onyx Black or Pearl White.

Typically, people use black for base coat. If you're just using the metallic powder pigments in a clear coat you need to put your coating on much thicker than normal rolling or brushing, in order to cover and achieve the desirable color.   We normally recommend 500-1000micron Clear Topcoat, which is 500mL to 1Lt per sqm resin. A  250gr container of Metallic Pearlescent Powder Pigment shall be added into 15 Liter of 100% solids epoxy to be enough for 15sqm of coverage of rich 1000µ coating.  There is no limit on how thick you can apply the Ultra Clear Topcoat and can be applied 2 or 3 or even 5mm thickness.  Please note each 1.0mm is equal to 1000 Micron and require one liter of epoxy resin.

Metallic Pearlescent Powder Pigment can be used in floor coating, countertop resurfacing, wall paints, plastic molding, ink applications, arts and crafts.  Always test your method of use before applying to your entire project.

Our Pearlescent Powder Pigments being used globally to create unique stunning Polyurethane & Epoxy Resin designs. It is a great fun to play with these pigments and create your own unique and exotic colour combinations. Using our Pigments, you will be guaranteed; Non-bleed or Fading, Non-Rust or Toxic, Vegan & Cruelty Free, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliance and temperature resistance so can be used for worktops and floors with underfloor heating.   Shimicoat Pearlescent Powder Pigments mix well with any clear epoxy on the market and disperse rapidly.

Composition of SHIMICOAT Pearlescent Powder Pigments

SHIMICOAT Pearlescent Powder Pigments contain the following mineral and inorganic compounds at different ratios for various colours and effects:

1.      Mica

2.      Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂)

3.      Selenium Dioxide (SnO₂)

4.      Ferric Iron Oxide (Fe₂O

SHIMICOAT Pearlescent Pigment Powders are composed of above metal oxide layers of moldy mica. Pearl pigments change the thin layer of metal oxide to produce different pearlescent effects. Compared with other pigments, pearlescent pigments have an unparalleled effect on the unique soft pearl luster. The special surface structure, high refractive index and good transparency make it the same effect as pearl in a transparent medium.  It contains 100% naturally occurring inorganic compounds.

The excellent chemical and high temperature resistance of pearlescent pigments offers its potential for wide application in coatings, inks, plastics and many other fields. They provide a new color system and color quality for these products. SHIMICOAT Pearlescent pigments are low in heavy metal and meet the safety standards to be used in many commercial and domestic applications.  Both acid and alkali cannot attack pearlescent pigment at room temperature.  SHIMICOAT Pearlescent Pigment cannot burn, is not self-igniting, is not conductive, and can withstand high temperatures of 600~800 °C.  Pearlescent pigments can also be used in reactive coatings for radiation curing systems (electron multiply curing, photocuring).

SHIMICOAT Pearlescent Powder Pigments ore one of our most versatile product that can be used to create your desirable metallic or pearlescent effect in many resin systems.  The product may be used in acrylics, oils, printing inks, encaustics, alcohol inks, epoxy, glues, casting resins, clay, varnishes, etc.

Pearlescent Pigments are safe, inert pigment that exhibits extreme colorfastness and stability. The different particle sizes produce different effects, from a smooth pearly luster, to a highly metallic sheen. The product creates a metallic effect without being a real metal, it will never tarnish or fade!

Note:    SHIMICOAT Pearlescent Pigment Powders are specifically engineered for art/craft materials, surface coating and industrial applications. They are NOT recommended for cosmetic use.
