Embroidery: Pearlescent pigments are added to embroidery threads to enhance the gloss and visual effects of embroidery patterns, making embroidery works more exquisite.
Printing: Pearlescent pigments are used in the textile printing process to provide bright colors and unique optical effects, making printed patterns more vivid and layered.
Fabric crafts: It is applied to fabric crafts such as handbags, accessories, etc. to increase the gloss and beauty of products and enhance the market appeal of products.
Scarves and shawls: Pearlescent pigments are used in fashion accessories such as scarves and shawls to provide unique optical effects and color changes, and enhance the fashion sense of accessories.
Hats and gloves: Used in accessories such as hats and gloves to increase gloss and decorativeness.
Stage play costumes: Pearlescent pigments are used in stage play and performance costumes to make the costumes look more gorgeous and eye-catching under the lights.
Theme party costumes: Used in theme party costumes and festival costumes to provide rich colors and gloss effects, increase the festive atmosphere and decorativeness.

How is the color coating of color-coated pearlescent pigments achieved?
The color coating of color-coated pearlescent pigments is mainly achieved by coating one or more layers of metal oxides, organic pigments or other colorants on a substrate (usually mica, synthetic mica or other transparent sheets). The following are the detailed steps and implementation methods of the color-coated pearlescent pigment manufacturing process:
Choose a suitable substrate: Common substrates include natural mica, synthetic mica, glass sheets or silicon wafers, etc. The choice of substrate will affect the optical properties and final effect of the pigment.
Substrate cleaning: Make sure the surface of the substrate is clean and free of impurities to ensure the uniformity and adhesion of the coating.
Metal oxides: such as titanium dioxide, iron oxide, chromium oxide, etc., have different refractive indices and colors.
Organic colorants: used to increase the saturation and brightness of a specific color, which can be dyes or pigments.
Other colorants: such as nanoparticles or other functional materials, used to achieve specific optical effects or functions.
Preparation of sol: Dissolve the metal oxide precursor in a solvent to form a uniform sol.
Coating: The sol is evenly coated on the surface of the substrate, usually by dip coating, spray coating or spin coating.
Gelation: Heating or natural drying converts the sol into gel to form a continuous metal oxide coating.
Gas phase reaction: The metal oxide precursor is vaporized at high temperature and chemically reacts on the surface of the substrate to form a metal oxide coating.
Control parameters: The coating thickness and uniformity are controlled by adjusting the temperature, pressure and reaction gas concentration.
Evaporation or sputtering: The metal oxide target is heated or ion bombarded in a vacuum to evaporate its atoms or molecules and deposit on the surface of the substrate.
Coating formation: The thickness and uniformity of the coating are adjusted by controlling the evaporation or sputtering rate.
Suspension preparation: Metal oxide particles or organic pigments are dispersed in a liquid medium to form a uniform suspension.
Coating: The suspension is uniformly coated on the surface of the substrate by dipping, spraying or rolling.
Drying and sintering: After the coating is dried, the particles are bonded to the surface of the substrate by heating and sintering to form a stable coating.
Interlayer treatment: Drying, sintering or curing treatment is performed after each layer is coated to ensure the stability and adhesion of each layer of coating.
Layer control: Multiple layers of metal oxides or pigments are applied as needed, and the thickness and order of each layer determine the final optical effect and color.
Surface coating: After the multi-layer coating is completed, surface coating treatment can be performed, such as adding a protective coating to improve weather resistance and wear resistance.
Functionalization treatment: Surface functionalization treatment such as anti-UV, antibacterial or waterproof treatment is performed according to application requirements.
Detection and analysis: The coating pigment is tested and analyzed to ensure that its color, optical properties and physical properties meet the requirements. Common methods include spectral analysis, microscopic observation and mechanical property testing.
Adjustment and optimization: According to the test results, the process parameters and coating materials are adjusted to optimize the performance and effect of the pigment.
