Especially for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers, this chrome pigment is slightly transparent, making it ideal for applications where the contents of the bottle need to be visible

Clariant introduces new glossy metal aesthetic; targeting premium packaging (Image credit: Clariant)The team from Clariant's ColorWorks™ Design and Technology Center developed this new masterbatch in response to the growing market focus on true metallic appearance, especially in the technical field
.
The secret to getting the bright chrome effect is the particle size distribution of the pigment and the way it is incorporated into the masterbatch
.
There are other benefits of the chrome effect, including the way it reacts to laser light

.
Unlike other pigments, which turn gray or black with laser light and leave a tangible, tactile mark on the surface, chrome pigments disappear, leaving only the natural transparent polymer itself
.
"You can create very small and delicate marks," says Stephanie Dycha, manager of the ColorWorks Center in West Chicago, Illinois, USA
.
"Even in very thin locations, such as areas typical of injection stretch blow molded PET, a three-dimensional appearance can be achieved

Clariant's new liquid look chrome masterbatch is the first from NewAesthetix
.
A new project from ColorWorks, NewAesthetix aims to develop unique pigments and effect options to achieve aesthetic qualities often unattainable for plastic materials
.
"If there's any place with a mission to try new things, it's ColorWorks," Dycha said
.
"That's because ColorWorks is global - we're not just in one country or region - and we don't just focus on a specific market segment
.
In fact, we try almost every kind of paint or effect, even those Pigments or effects that may not have been originally developed for thermoplastic applications
