Sun Chemical Performance Pigments has launched its new SunMica Exterior XC product line, a series of 13 pearlescent special effect pigments specifically geared for exterior coatings applications, especially powder coatings.
Available in all major colors, including six particle size distributions of pearlescent white, SunMica Exterior XC consists of thin natural mineral mica flakes coated with optical layers of titanium dioxide and/or iron dioxide that have been specially treated to have exceptional outdoor durability.
SunMICA Exterior XC pigments add depth, shimmer and sparkle, providing unlimited styling possibilities. The Exterior XC line offers excellent weather stability, outstanding lightfastness, humidity resistance, batch-to-batch color consistency, and superior intercoat adhesion in most coating applications.
Geared toward the automotive, auto custom finishes and accessories, architectural, lawn and garden equipment, and outdoor furniture markets, SunMica Exterior XC pigments are compatible with both solvent and waterborne coatings, powder and coil coatings, 2K isocyanates, alkyds, epoxy, UV curables and stuccos.
SunMica Exterior XC joins Sun Chemical’s large family of effect pigments, including the Benda-Lutz family of metallic pigments.
