New Engelhard Lumina® Brass pigment is a mica-based, non-metallic effect pigment that brings a luxurious, metallic gold effect to plastics, coatings and inks. It features increased chromaticity, higher color purity and more brightness and hiding power than traditional non-metallic metallic brass colors.

Lumina Brass is the newest and first metallic-looking pigment in the popular Lumina family of colors that includes six mica-based interference colors: gold, red, green, turquoise, aqua-blue, and red-blue.

Based on a tight mica particle-size distribution and a unique multi-layer coating technology, Lumina Brass pigment creates an exquisite look and helps designers differentiate their products.

A non-reactive and non-tarnishing pigment, Lumina Brass is compatible with both solvent- and water-based liquid coatings as well as powder coatings.

It processes easily in injection molding, blow mold or extrusion processing, and can also be used in inks for gravure, flexo and screen printing processes.

Lumina Brass is also available with Engelhard's proprietary CFS chrome-free treatment, for exterior applications.

Engelhard manufactures a broad line of products for paints, coatings and inks, including special effect pigments, organic and complex inorganic color pigments, aqueous color dispersions, kaolin-based extender pigments and attapulgite thixotropes.
