A pearlescent pigment for security purposes according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a single or a plurality of coating layers containing a metal oxide and an organic or inorganic fluorescent material. Since the pearlescent pigment for security purposes according to the present disclosure includes a fluorescent layer containing the organic or inorganic fluorescent material, it can be used as a pigment for security purposes due to its optical characteristics and can also provide effects such as magnetism, high color intensity, multiple colors, etc. Also, since the pearlescent pigment for security purposes has aesthetic benefit and security characteristic at the same time, it is economical, easy to use and applicable in various industries.

Temperature-stable effect pigments based on multicoated flake-form substrates, and the use thereof in paints, coatings, printing inks, plastics and in particular in glazes, enamels, ceramic or glass-like materials.

A multilayer thin film structure having a reflective core particle, a dielectric layer directly encapsulating the reflective core particle, an absorber layer directly encapsulating the dielectric layer; an outer layer encapsulating the absorber layer. The multilayer thin film structure has a hue shift of less than 30° in the Lab color space when viewed at angles from 0° to 45°.

BiOCl pigments coated with an amorphous carbon. A process for the preparation of the pigments. And use of the pigments prepared in this way, inter alia in paints, coatings, printing inks, plastics and cosmetics.

The present invention relates to interference pigments based on platelet-shaped substrates which are coated with at least four high refractive layers and to the use thereof, inter alia in paints, coatings, printings inks, plastics and in particular in cosmetic formulations. The interference pigments show a moderate chroma and can be used as effect pigments, as filler pigments and as protection agent against near infrared radiation, VIS and high energy light.

A method for forming a multilayer thin film structure includes directly depositing an absorber layer to encapsulate a dielectric layer, and the dielectric layer encapsulates a reflective core particle. The method further including depositing an outer layer to encapsulate the absorber layer, and the multilayer thin film structure has a hue shift of less than 30° in the Lab color space when viewed at angles from 0° to 45°.

The invention relates to a transparent effect pigment which includes a non-metallic platelet-shaped substrate and a coating applied thereto, wherein the coating has a spacer layer. The invention further relates to a method for the production, as well as the use, of the transparent effect pigment.

Pigments based on particles which are coated with at least one layer which consists of a mixture of amorphous carbon (a-C) and nanocrystalline graphite (nc-graphite) and use of these pigments in, for example, paints, plastics, industrial coatings, automotive coatings, printing inks and cosmetic formulations.

The invention relates to glaze- and enamel-stable effect pigments having a top layer comprising at least one tin/antimony mixed oxide, which have improved stability, in particular at temperatures above 1000 C., in glazes, enamels, ceramic or glass-like materials.
