Synthetic Mica-based pigments, also known as Fluorophlogopite, are engineered to surpass the limitations of natural mica. Unlike natural mica, which contains impurities, synthetic mica is manufactured in a controlled environment to ensure extreme purity, consistent thickness, and a perfectly smooth surface. This results in a pigment with higher transparency, superior luster, and more vivid “point-of-light” sparkle. These pigments are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and offer excellent weather and chemical resistance, making them the preferred choice for high-end finishes where clarity and brilliance are paramount.
Our Synthetic Mica series is designed for versatility and high-performance across diverse sectors:
FX Pigments’ Synthetic Mica series offers a significant leap in optical performance compared to traditional pearl pigments. Key performance features include:
Higher Chroma & Purity: Crystal-clear base allows for more intense color saturation and “high chroma” effects.
Smooth Texture: The uniform flake structure ensures easy dispersion and a soft, silky feel in cosmetic and coating applications.
Thermal Stability: Capable of withstanding extreme processing temperatures (up to 800°C) without losing brilliance or color integrity.
Safety & Compliance: Fully compliant with global safety standards, free from hazardous heavy metals and environmental contaminants.
