Panthera Silver creates a metallic shimmer, Leonis Gold an interplay of color and extraordinary sparkle, and Tigris Blue a special intensity and brilliance.

“The mysterious appearance of the cougar and its powerful elegance gave the pigment innovation its name,” explains Alexander Peters, Global Marketing Manager Decorative Pigments at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. “Xirallic® NXT Cougar Red convinces in red stylings through its high chroma, attractive flop behavior and brilliant red sparkle.” The red crystalline pigments, used alone or in combination with Colorstream® Lava Red and Meoxal®, impart a mysterious magic with an intense sparkle to automotive, plastic, industrial and powder coatings. In addition, they open up a broad spectrum of possible red shades – from dominant-fascinating to elegant-mysterious.
