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
