During a seminar, BASF will present the entire series to its customers in the plastics industry for the first time.
The pigments of the Lumina Royal product series are characterized by their high brilliance, purity and chromaticity. The Blue, Aqua, Indigo and Magenta pigments cover the greenish- to reddish-blue interference color spectrum whereas Lumina Royal Copper offers an opaque, bright copper effect shade.
"The Lumina Royal effect pigments offer our customers particularly brilliant solutions with creative styling options for plastics applications, helping brand owners to enhance their brands and to stand out from their competitors," underlines Jeff Knight, Senior Vice President, Dispersions and Pigments, Asia Pacific.
Attractive design for packaging, electronic and household appliances as well as toys
The Lumina Royal series of effect pigments can, for example, be used to produce eye-catching articles for sport and leisure like skateboards and snowboards, ski boots as well as children's toys. Other fields of application are elegantly designed packaging for cosmetic products and casings for electronic devices and household appliances such as coffee makers.
The Lumina Royal series extends BASF's broad portfolio of highquality pigments for plastics. Besides effect pigments the company also offers its customers organic pigments and dyes which can be combined with the Lumina Royal pigments.
