Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Pearlescent pigments including a largely transparent platelet-shaped substrate having a density ρ S and at least one optically active coating having a density ρ M , the substrate having an average size d 50 of 3 to 8 μm and an average height h S of 40 to 110 nm. The disclosure further relates to a method for producing the pearlescent pigments, and also to the use thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. Pearlescent pigments, each pearlescent pigment in the pearlescent pigments comprising a largely transparent platelet-shaped substrate and at least one optically active coating, wherein the platelet-shaped substrates in the pearlescent pigments have a d 50 of 3 to 8 μm and an average height h S of 40 to 110 nm, and wherein a standard deviation for the height h S of each said substrate is in a range of from 25% to 80%. 2. The pearlesce…
