HOW PRIZMALITE MICROSPHERES WORK

OPTICALLY

PRIZMALITE CLEAR GLASS MICROSPHERES

• Act as mini-magnifying glasses to deliver visually truer color
• Clarify and magnify the visual impact of pigments and metallic flakes
• Create a richer, wetter, deeper look
• Visually extend expensive color-shift pigments to create cost-effective new looks

GEOMETRICALLY

ALL PRIZMALITE GLASS MICROSPHERES

• Prop up other pigments, mica and aluminum flakes
• Increase exposed surface area and visual impact
• Facilitate even dispersion of colorants and reflectors
• Are anti-mottling agents that enhance visual consistency
• Act as mini-ball bearings to improve material flow and reduce flow lines
• Provide color consistency from all viewing angles

FUNCTIONALLY

ALL PRIZMALITE GLASS MICROSPHERES

• Impart durability and chip resistance due to the hardness of glass
• Reduce cost when substituted for more expensive pigments
• Facilitate the matching of colors from substrateto- substrate and part-to-part
• Lower the cost of application through defect reduction and process acceleration

VISUALLY

PRIZMALITE ALUMINUM-COATED SPHERES

• Retro reflect light straight back to the light source for night visibility
• Combine with colored spheres for a color flexible reflectivity
• Provide omni-angle reflectivity for a wider range of visibility
• Make coated objects visible at night in headlights up to 300 meters away
