DECORATIVE ChromaFlair® L-Spec Light Interference Pigments Seeing Color In A Whole New Light Key Features • Opaque, thin, multi-layered microflakes • Dramatic color changes when viewed from different angles • Easy to stir in or incorporate into paints and dyes • OEM automotive durable Applications • Decorative effects • Product differentiation • Broad range of custom applications in automotive and consumer product industries ChromaFlair pigments are unique, multi-layer pigment flakes that give paints, coatings, plastics, textiles and packaging the ability to change color when viewed from different angles. Created using a revolutionary thin-film technology, each flake exhibits a wide range of hues depending on the angle at which it is viewed and the angle of incidence of light – a dramatic color shift that is even achievable in low-light environments. Highly chromatic, durable and easy to incorporate, ChromaFlair pigments can add value and appeal to virtually any product where color is a key differentiating factor. ChromaFlair L-Spec is ideal for general-purpose applications, having a wider color tolerance specification than ChromaFlair T-Spec. Seven standard colors are currently available and their names reflect the color seen at approximately 0° and 45° respectively, the number represents the pigment’s approximate hue at normal viewing angle.
