The secret of colors with Colorstream® is their subtlety. Instead of abrupt color changes they create a flowing gradation from one color to the next. This flowing or streaming of colors has an excellent aesthetic appeal.

Essentials for plastic and printing applications:

Colorstream® redefines the term effect pigment. Whereas with Iriodin® interference pigments the color changes between the pigment color and its complementary color when the viewing angle changes, Colorstream® effect pigments offer color gradations that flow in and out of each other in a multitude of nuances which are shown to their best advantage over dark backgrounds.

With Colorstream® effect pigments, one can achieve unique multicolor effects. The Colorstream® types are based primarily on synthetically produced silicon dioxide platelets that are covered with metal oxides. A characteristic of the Colorstream® effect pigments is the “flowing” play of colors that is dependent on the angle of observation and the incidence of light.
