Applications

Weatherproof coatings for exterior applications

Miraval® effect pigments make every coating something very special. They are especially suited to powder coatings, industrial coatings and dispersion paints, and are used to refine leather fashion accessories, as well as household appliances and wood surfaces. With their additional coating, Miraval® lines developed especially for exterior use display outstanding weather resistance and allow the pigments to be used in façade coatings.

Printing and plastics

Miraval® effect pigments make print products something very special. Use them in gravure, flexo and screen printing and pressure coating, to refine brochures, packaging, wallpaper and textiles, to name just a few applications. Even in materials with uniform color coverage, Miraval® still shows off its special glitter effects and significantly reduces the visibility of flowlines. The different colored pigments in the Miraval® family can be combined in any way and offer extraordinary variety of styling potential – even at the lowest concentrations.

With powerful sparkle, tremendous brilliance and intensive luster, Miraval Cosmic® series pushes product design forward into completely new dimensions. These pigments provide a completely new tool for stylings of extraordinary, brilliant color intensity in many plastics applications and printing processes.
