Merck has launched Tigris Blue, its new effect pigment from the Xirallic NXT series. This is the third pigment in the Xirallic NXT family. Not only the product names but also their effect call to mind the fascination and aura of wild cats. Following Panthera Silver with its extraordinary shimmer and Leonis Gold with its interplay of colour and sparkle, the special intensity and brilliance of Tigris Blue is now coming on to the market.
Dirk Zahner, Director Global Marketing Coatings, Pigments & Functional Materials at Merck states: "The new Xirallic pigment captures light in an incomparable way and gives a special, impressive depth to dark blue and elegant black stylings.”
Xirallic NXT Tigris Blue imparts a 3D elegance to black and dark blue automotive coatings. Plastic, industrial and powder coatings also benefit from the way the effect pigment reflects incident light. The blue exhibits high chroma and tremendous colour purity. Like all products in the Xirallic NXT series, Xirallic NXT Tigris Blue is suitable for interior and exterior applications and multifaceted combinations with other colour and effect pigments.
