Arcopearl® FEHD 440

Chemical Family
Iron Oxides

Arcopearl® FEHD interference pigments are a new generation of synthetic mica flakes. These high definition effect pigments utilize a unique patented technology designed to coat synthetic mica in a novel, unconventional way. Arcopearl® FEHD uses a synthetic mica substrate and is coated by Iron Oxide and then Titanium Dioxide to create a new layered pearl pigment. This new layering process creates outstanding visual and sparkle effects that offer exceptional brightness, intense chroma and superior sensory benefits unlike traditional effect pigments. Arcopearl® FEHD effect pigments have a guaranteed low level of heavy metals.
