Precautions for using super-cool effect pigments

With the growing global demand for environmentally friendly, beautiful and high-performance materials, the pearlescent pigment industry has ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. According to the latest market research report, the global pearlescent pigment market is expected to reach RMB 44.6 billion by 2025, of which the Chinese market will account for a significant share at a growth rate of 31.7%. As a key ingredient to enhance the visual effect of products, pearlescent pigments are widely used in many fields such as coatings, plastics, inks, automobiles and cosmetics, and are highly favored for their unique gloss effect.

Synthetic mica substrate leads the new trend

As a key substrate for pearlescent pigments, synthetic mica is gradually becoming the mainstream choice of the industry. Global New Materials International, as a leader in this field, has further consolidated its position in the global market by acquiring a 42% stake in South Korea's CQV. This move not only enhances the company's production capacity, but also promotes technical exchanges, providing the possibility of developing more environmentally friendly and high-temperature resistant products. The application of synthetic mica substrate not only reduces environmental impact, but also improves the durability and corrosion resistance of products, meeting the demand for high-quality materials in industries such as automobile manufacturing.

Environmental advantages promote sustainable development

As consumers' environmental awareness increases, non-toxic and environmentally friendly pearlescent pigments are gradually replacing traditional pigments and becoming the first choice for many brands pursuing sustainable development. Especially in the cosmetics industry, pearlescent pigments have won wide recognition in the market with their excellent color expression and safety. In addition, in coatings and plastic products, pearlescent pigments can not only beautify the appearance, but also significantly improve the durability of products, making it one of the important means for companies to enhance their competitiveness.

International competition intensifies, domestic market rises rapidly

Although international giants such as Germany's Merck Group and Japan's DIC still dominate the market, the rise of Chinese companies in the field of pearlescent pigments in recent years cannot be ignored. Domestic manufacturers represented by Kuncai Technology have rapidly expanded their market share by actively deploying upstream raw material markets and technological innovation. Data shows that Merck's cosmetic-grade pearlescent pigments are priced at about 386,000 yuan/ton, while the price of similar domestic products is around 170,000 yuan/ton, showing huge cost advantages and development potential.
