Sun Chemical has expanded its Glacier™ family portfolio with the introduction of Glacier™ Exterior Ceramic White S1303M, which enables a subtle satin effect for intensely pure white shades.
The latest edition is treated with Sun Chemical’s established chrome-free surface treatment (CFS) technology for improved weathering resistance and durability.
Glacier™ effect pigments are a new generation of pearls based on synthetic mica flakes coated with titanium dioxide for automotive, powder & coil coatings, household goods, sporting goods and more. Based on transparent synthetic mica, which is free of natural impurities (e.g. iron oxides), Glacier™ is the whitest effect pigment, offering improved luster and brightness with a bluish reflection color producing clean, cool sparkle effects.
Key attributes of Glacier™ Exterior Ceramic White S1303M:
- Subtle satin effect with intensely pure white shade
- Interference effect with optimized particle size distribution based on micro-fraction synthetic mica (Particle size: 2 ~ 15 μm (D50: 7 μm)
- Exceptional bluish tint, ultra-high DOI (distinctness of image) and subtle sparkle
- The cleanest white for new stylings and greater formulation flexibility
- Ideal for white tri-coats, metallic blacks and all other achromatic shades
Members of the Glacier™ effect pigments family include Glacier™ Exterior Silk White S1303V and Glacier™ Exterior Frost White S1303D.
