Special-effect pigments add colour that does more than sit there. Mixed into paints, inks, resins, plastics and coatings, they bring surfaces to life.

Colour-changing pigments respond to their surroundings — thermochromic pigments change with temperature, reversibly or permanently, and photochromic pigments change in sunlight or UV light. Effect pigments create a striking look of their own — glow-in-the-dark, fluorescent, pearlescent and reflective.

Designers, artists, manufacturers, laboratories, research and development teams and schools use them in paints and coatings, printing, plastics and resin casting, textiles, product design, education and research.
