This reference work provides a comprehensive overview of metallic effect pigments, starting
with manufacturing processes through properties to areas of application. The individual chapters
offer condensed specialist knowledge based on the strength of past experiences conveyed by the
authors. The book illustrates the importance of metallic effect pigments, which can be used decoratively,
for protection against UV-driven degradation, and in various technical applications (e.g., in
light-weight concrete, pyrotechnics, and corrosion protection), where their chemical and physical properties
are paramount.
From the Foreword: “...Metallic pigments are distinguished by their optical effects. Objects
coated with metallic effect pigments appear shiny and metallic. From different angles of observation,
a pronounced light/dark or flip-flop effect accentuates the shape of the objects and draws attention
to curved surfaces...”
Target Audience: Any reader with a technical interest in metallic effect pigments.
