Kuncai XillaMaya appears to defeat the laws of physics. Kuncai has managed to combine a strong sparkle with high color intensity while maintaining a small particle size. A smart combination of different reflective metal oxide layers and the selection of a specific synthetic mica as base material ensure an intense glitter effect, extraordinary color saturation and excellent hiding power. Direct light illumination has a positive influence on the sparkle effect with the product line exhibiting a “3D like” sparkle under these conditions. The particle size of the product line falls in the 6 – 30 μm range, which makes the pigments easy to use in nearly every application system.
