BASF now offers all five effect pigments of its Lumina Royal product series for plastics applications. This will enable producers of plastics all over the world to create attractive design options in blue and copper color shades. Already in 2010, BASF introduced the effect pigment Lumina Royal Blue for plastics applications into the market. The pigments Aqua, Indigo, Magenta and Copper will now follow at CHINAPLAS, the international trade fair for the plastics and rubber industries, taking place in Guangzhou, China, from May 20 to 23, 2015. During a seminar, BASF will present the entire series to its customers in the plastics industry for the first time.
The pigments of the Lumina Royal product series are characterized by their high brilliance, purity and chromaticity. The Blue, Aqua, Indigo and Magenta pigments cover the greenish- to reddish-blue interference color spectrum whereas Lumina Royal Copper offers an opaque, bright copper effect shade.
The Lumina Royal series of effect pigments can, for example, be used to produce eye-catching articles for sport and leisure like skateboards and snowboards, ski boots as well as children’s toys. Other fields of application are elegantly designed packaging for cosmetic products and casings for electronic devices and household appliances such as coffee makers.
The Lumina Royal series extends BASF’s broad portfolio of high-quality pigments for plastics. Besides effect pigments the company also offers its customers organic pigments and dyes which can be combined with the Lumina Royal pigments. In this way, BASF enables producers of plastics to achieve very special effects and creative styling options.
