The premiere of brilliance
2 BASF is introducing a new level of brilliance: The Paliocrom Brilliant series! Paliocrom Brilliant is a further development based on aluminum flakes of the thin silver dollar type, which has a very narrow particle size distribution. Paliocrom Brilliant grades show much higher brilliancy than the wellestablished standard Paliocrom grades and are recommended for extremely chromatic and light shades with a slight sparkle effect. The first member of the Paliocrom Brilliant series was the recently launched Paliocrom Brilliant Orange L 2850 which extended so far the achievable color space with its exceptionally high intensity and purity of color, gloss and sparkle. is the second member of this series and has been designed for golden, orange as well as red metallic stylings and visual effects. Thanks to the very high chroma and lightness of this new effect pigment, designers will be enabled to create eye-catching effects and to differentiate their products better in an increasingly competitive market. Paliocrom Brilliant Gold s performance makes it especially recommended for use in high-quality automotive finishes, industrial paints and coatings for computers, communication devices and consumer goods. an incredibly rich and vibrant gold that in combination with other effects or colored pigments provides opportunities for a wide variety of different stylings. Key benefits Main applications: high-quality automotive finishes (OEM & refinish) industrial paints plastic coatings (e.g., cell phones, TV sets, computers etc.) exceptional high chroma exceptional high lightness slight sparkle effect excellent hiding power excellent durability The richest gold, which can also be used across the entire color spectrum. At BASF, we create chemistry.
