The integration of pigments in coatings for autonomous vehicles presents a unique set of challenges ranging from functionality to aesthetics to regulatory compliance. In response to these needs, a new kind of effect pigment based on borosilicate glass was developed specifically for distinctive silver-grey formulations where a high sparkle is required and has a high radar transparency and offers dark-down flop and opacity.
LUXAN effect pigments belong to the group of pearlescent effect pigments that are composed of low refractive transparent substrates coated with high refractive metal oxides, e.g., titanium dioxide or iron oxide.
