CUSTOM COLOR SOLUTIONS ChromaFlair® Light-Interference Pigments Seeing color in a whole new light Applications •Decorative effects for coatings, plastics, textiles, and packaging •Custom applications for automotive and consumer products •Brand enhancement ChromaFlair pigments include multi-layer flakes that give paints, coatings, plastics, textiles, and packaging the ability to change color when viewed from different angles, and is suitable wherever color is valued as a differentiator. Each flake exhibits a variety of colors depending on the angle at which it is viewed and the angle of incident light. The pigment’s dramatic color effect is visible in a wide variety of lighting conditions and works with both high- and low-gloss applications. It is easily incorporated into paints and plastics used in automotive, consumer electronics, sports equipment, apparel, and packaging markets. The Titanium series offers a highly-saturated color effect and a distinctive, satiny finish. telephone : 707 525-7007 fax : 707 525-7533 website : www.jdsu.com/ccs CHROMAFLAIR LIGHT INTERFERENCE PIGMENTS To create ChromaFlair pigment, a multi-layer interference film, manufactured by the deposition of ultra-thin layers using physical vacuum deposition (PVD), is ground into micron-sized flakes. Unlike ordinary pearlescent pigments, ChromaFlair flakes include a center aluminum core layer that is opaque and highly specular (mirror-like). The aluminum layer is surrounded by a glass-like layer. Changing the thickness of this glass-like layer produces different colors, and allows all seven standard colors to be made from the same three ingredients. To maintain the tight color tolerance required by the automotive industry, layer thicknesses must be controlled to within a few atoms; this is achieved using a proprietary JDSU manufacturing process. ChromaFlair pigments can be mixed with traditional organic and inorganic pigments to create styled colors to meet a wide variety of design needs. Mix with aluminum pigments to lighten colors and create pastel effects; darker colors tend to intensify the color-shift effect. As shown in Figure 2.0, mixing with transparent pigments decreases the range of visible colors. 160 140 120 Green/Purple 190 Masstone +5% Phthalocyanine Green +10% Phthalocyanine Green 100 +20% Phthalocyanine Green 80 +40% Phthalocyanine Green 60 40 20 a* 0 -20 -40 -60 -80 -100 -120 -140 -160 Similar to natural structures such as soap bubbles, butterfly wings, and sea shells, the color of ChromaFlair pigment is the result of a thin-film interference whereby white light is separated into its components through selective constructive and destructive interference. This phenomenon is also called structural color: the raw materials are essentially colorless by themselves but, when ordered in the proper sequence, they work together to create color. Through the use of thin-film interference, vacuumcoating technology, and three colorless materials, JDSU is able to create a full spectrum of highly-chromatic colors. -160 -140 -120 -100 -80 -60 -40 -20 0 b* 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 Figure 1.

The number represents the pigment’s approximate hue at a normal viewing angle. Red/Gold 000L Magenta/Gold 334L Gold/Silver 080L Silver/Green 060L Cyan/Purple 230L Blue/Red 280L Green/Purple 190L Titanium Series Colors Titanium Series pigment is available in Emerald and Aquamarine. Emerald shifts from a saturated green into a brilliant purple. The color travel of Aquamarine moves from neutral silver through teal and into vivid blue. The pigment is produced using titanium, yielding a very small apparent grain size and a highly-saturated color effect.
