| abstract |
The present invention relates to platelet-shaped pigments that comprise a layer obtained by calcining Ti02/SiOY or Ti02/metal, especially Ti02/AI (0.03 ≤ y ≤ 1.95, especially 0.03 ≤ y ≤ 1.8, more especially 0.70 ≤ y ≤ 1.8), and to the use thereof in paints, textiles, ink-jet printing, cosmetics, coatings, plastics, printing inks, in glazes for ceramics and glass, and in security printing. The pigments according to the invention are distinguished by a high gloss and a very uniform thickness, as a result of which very high colour purity and colour strength are obtained. |
