The multinational pharmaceutical chemical German Merck has decided to invest EUR 2.6 million to create a new line of production of Xirallic effect pigments, in response to the growing demand for this type of pigments since its launch in the marketalready a decade ago.
These pigments are based on small sheets of aluminium (Al2O3) oxide synthetically manufactured in a special process of crystallization. One of its most important features is its reflective force, which creates an effect of high brightness with a high quality of reflection. They are distinguished by their tone of clear widespread colour, great chromatic intensity and its powerful shine.
