Description
Jacquard Pearl-Ex Solar Gold*
These powdered mica pigments are extremely versatile. Pearl Ex Metallic and Iridescent Powder Pigments may be used any time a metallic or pearlescent effect is desired. Mix them into acrylics, oils, printing inks, encaustics, alcohol inks, epoxy, glues, casting resins, clay, varnishes…the list goes on! Try them mixed with Gum Arabic for a DIY metallic calligraphy ink or watercolor, with Pearl-Ex Varnish for working on non-porous surfaces, or mixed into one of Jacquard’s colorless extenders for use on fabric.
Jacquard Pearl-Ex is a safe, inert pigment that exhibits extreme colorfastness and stability. The different particle sizes produce different effects, from a smooth pearly luster, to a highly metallic sheen. Pearl Ex creates a metallic effect without being a real metal—it will never tarnish or fade!
Note: Pearl-Ex Powdered Pigments were specifically developed as an art material. They are NOT for cosmetic use.
