Pearlescent Vinyl Sheets
The Pearlescent Series vinyl wraps are a great way to give your vehicle or any other object that you prefer a pearlescent look. All foils in our Pearlescent Series have either a low gloss satin finish or a lustrous gloss finish with a muted iridescence similar to natural mother of pearl. This mother of pearl or polychrome base is then accentuated by the predominant hue of each of these different mother of pearl wraps. Best of all, our premium pearlescent wraps are made from multi-cast vinyl with pressure-sensitive, air-resistant adhesives, so you can achieve bubble-free results no matter how extreme the angles and turns of your ride.
What is pearlescent vinyl?
Simply put, pearlescent vinyl pigments are covered with mica flakes that provide both color and pleasing visual results for a ton of plastics, inks, and coatings. You get a reflective look that is transparent and reflects light due to the smooth surface of the vinyl. The light reflected from the platelets makes them appear brighter as the particle size changes. We also have some iridescent pearlescent pigments that look different depending on the angle you look at them.
Properties of Pearlescent Vinyl
In addition to the mass and properties of metal oxide, pearlescent pigments have defined and changing properties that also determine their color.
Here are such properties:
- pigment accumulation:The amount of pigment incorporated towards the base.
- Film Transparency:The transmission of unblocked light passing through the vinyl.
- platelet size:The size of the mica.
- Platelet direction:The direction in which the mica particles are pointing.
