Effect Pigments for Plastic Coatings
The number of plastic parts that are used in the automotive industry has increased considerably over the course of the last several decades. With the development of special primers, which are equipped with light-colored conductive Minatec® pigments from Merck, electrostatic coating of plastics with the same colored undercoat as their neighboring metal parts became possible. In applications such as coatings for cellular telephones, electronic entertainment devices or technical equipment, effect pigments from Merck allow an exclusive or futuristic appearing surface design.
