Its optical appearance, on the other hand, is unique: the pigment has a distinctive colour flop from metallic grey to metallic black. Such dark flop effects could previously not be reproduced using a single effect pigment. The pigment is therefore
ideal for creating dark shades and strong metallic effects.
The pigment’s excellent wetting properties and the outstanding pigment orientation that goes with it create homogeneous and brilliant surfaces with good hiding power.

Its magnetic properties give FERRICON a special edge: using permanent or electromagnets, the pigments along the lines of force can be reoriented, thus creating unique effects with fascinating depth and a three-dimensional appearance.
