Description

SHIMICOAT Pearlescent Powder Pigment is a mica based metallic pigment that blends into clear epoxy resin to create stunning, light reflecting metallic and marble effects on floors and benchtops across Australia. Each particle is coated with inorganic minerals so the finish delivers a high gloss, pearlescent sheen that mimics natural stone and never tarnishes or fades.

  • Made from 100 percent naturally occurring inorganic compounds (mica, titanium dioxide, iron and tin oxides)
  • Excellent chemical resistance: unaffected by acid or alkali at room temperature
  • High temperature resistance up to 800 degrees Celsius, suitable for benchtops and underfloor heating
  • Non bleed, non fading, non toxic, vegan and cruelty free
  • Low dosage of only 1 to 2 percent, disperses rapidly into clear epoxy
  • Easy to roll, brush or pour, so no two floors ever look exactly the same

Use the pigment as a mid coat: mix it into 100 percent solids clear epoxy and apply over a tinted basecoat such as Onyx Black or Pearl White. As a guide, one 250gr container blends into roughly 15 litres of clear epoxy to cover about 15 square metres at a rich 1000 micron build. It also works in countertops, wall coatings, inks, casting resin and arts and crafts. Always test your method before coating the full project.

Supplied in a 250gr container and available in 20 colours, from Pearl White and Silver Frost to Royal Blue, Flame Red and Dragon Gold. Choose your colour above to start your next metallic floor, or contact our team for technical advice.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

The questions we get asked most about the Pearlescent Powder Pigment.

What is Pearlescent Powder Pigment used for?
It is a pearlescent powder pigment used to colour clear epoxy and resin with a metallic, pearly shimmer. It is popular for metallic floors, benchtops, resin art and feature pieces.
What colours can I choose?
Pearlescent Powder Pigment comes in 20 pearlescent colours, so you can blend custom metallic effects. Select your colour on this page before adding to cart.
How do I use it?
Add the powder gradually to your clear resin and mix thoroughly until fully dispersed, with no dry clumps. Start with a small amount, as a little powder creates a strong pearlescent effect.
Can I mix colours for a metallic floor effect?
Yes. Many metallic finishes use two or more pigments swirled through a clear coat to create movement and depth. Test your blend on a sample first so you are happy with the effect before doing the full surface.
Is this a complete kit?
No. The pigment is a colourant only. You will also need clear epoxy or resin to mix it into, and a topcoat for floors, available separately.
