Performance & Formulation Insights for TC Bright Blue

The Science of Interference Color

TC Bright Blue is an interference pearl pigment that generates color through optical effects, not traditional absorption. It consists of a natural mica platelet coated with a precise layer of titanium dioxide (TiO2). When light strikes the pigment, it reflects off both the top and bottom surfaces of the TiO2 layer. This causes light waves to interfere with each other, canceling out certain colors and reflecting a specific hue—in this case, a vibrant blue. The base itself remains a translucent white, allowing for incredible versatility over different colored backgrounds.

Achieving a Refined Satin Finish

With a particle size range of 10-60 µm, TC Bright Blue provides a classic satin-to-pearl finish. This range is large enough to create visible shimmer but fine enough to avoid a glittery or textured feel. The result is a smooth, homogenous application that delivers a refined luminosity, making it ideal for products where elegance and high performance are paramount.
