The glitter is composed of PET and PVC vacuum metallic polyester plastic films. Its color layer is a thermosetting staggered fusion epoxy layer. The particle size can range from 1/4 to 1/1000. The shapes are regular hexagonal, quadrangular, rectangular, diamond, and irregular (round, heart-shaped, five-pointed star), etc.) Such as common shapes, the color system is divided into silver, gold, color (red, blue, green, purple, pink, black), the series is divided into laser series, ordinary color series, rainbow series; each color system is coated on the surface protective layer, The color is bright, and it has specific resistance and temperature resistance to climate, temperature, and slightly corrosive chemicals.
Types of Glitter
Metallic Glitter
The product is composed of fragile aluminum foil, and its colored outer layer is a thermosetting staggered fusion epoxy layer. The glitter applies to many soluble raw materials and can also be dry coated. Metallic glitter is an ideal raw material for plastic finished products, with a temperature resistance of 250 and acid and alkali resistance.
Magic Series Glitter
The product is a unique magic color glitter and does not contain metal components. However, due to the polymeric film’s optical properties that constitute the product, the product has changed in metal color and color, and there is a noticeable color change so that the product has a color change appearance.
Laser Series Glitter
The product consists of a high-brightness, high-color laser original film, which is coated and colored at high temperature and is especially carefully mechanically cut into sequins with uniform specifications. The original film is usually an environmentally friendly PET laser film, and the laser glitter produced is of high value. Because the reflective effect of the laser glitter is better than that of ordinary glitter, the product’s color penetrates through the surface.
Glitter in Nail Polish
Girls love manicures, and now there are a variety of manicures, including a glitter nail polish, which is loved by girls and feels beautiful when applied to their nails. That is nail polish made of glitter as the primary material.
One is solid components, mainly pigments, flash substances, etc.; One is the solvent component of liquid, primarily acetone, ethyl acetate, phthalate, etc.
Nail polish, due to its glitter shining characteristics, can achieve unique effects in all formulas of decorative cosmetics and body care products with a variety of possible sizes, particle shapes, and colors, and it is trendy in the market.
However, due to the influence of the solvent of nail polish itself, conventional glitter is more likely to fade. Therefore, it is essential to select high-quality solvent-resistant glitter.
Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is an industrial-strength solvent, usually more potent than any nail polish suspension matrix.
This is why it is ideal for evaluating the long-term solvent resistance of any flash you may consider using. The accepted view is that if your color flash can be soaked in MEK for about 5 minutes and does not penetrate any color into MEK, it passes the

What is Silver Powder?
Silver powder is a fine, grayish-white, metallic powder made of pure silver or a silver alloy. It has a high reflectivity and is widely used in a variety of applications, including in the production of paints, coatings, and inks for printing and packaging.
Properties of Silver Powder
- High reflectivity
- Good electrical conductivity
- High melting point
- Good corrosion resistance
- Non-toxic and biologically inert
Applications of Silver Powder
- Paints and coatings
- Printing and packaging
- Electronics
- Conductive inks
- Cosmetics
- Medical and pharmaceuticals
- Antimicrobial products
Health and Safety
Silver powder can be harmful if inhaled or ingested. It should be handled with care and protective measures should be taken to avoid inhaling or ingesting the powder.
How is Silver Powder Produced?
There are several methods for producing silver powder, including:
Electrolysis
Electrolysis involves passing an electric current through a solution of silver salt to produce silver metal, which is then collected and dried to form silver powder.
Reduction
Reduction involves reacting silver salt with a reducing agent, such as hydrogen or a metal, to produce silver metal, which is then collected and dried to form silver powder.
Precipitation
Precipitation involves reacting a silver salt with a precipitation agent, such as ammonia or a carbonate, to produce silver metal, which is then collected and dried to form silver powder.
Mechanical Attrition
Mechanical attrition involves grinding and milling silver metal to produce silver powder.
Conclusion
Glitter and silver powder are both versatile materials with a wide range of applications in industries such as cosmetics, printing, and electronics. It is important to choose the right type of glitter or silver powder for your specific application and to handle these materials with care to ensure the safety of both the user and the environment.
