3D printing filaments are printing consumables made by mixing and melting plastics, pigments, additives and other raw materials and then extruding them into wires. It uses FDM (fused deposition modeling) printing technology to quickly produce some handicrafts, character models and even industrial accessories through 3D printers, and has been favored by a large number of consumer and industrial users.
Wires are usually colored with organic pigments, and later innovative products such as metal, silk, macaron, and rainbow were gradually developed. However, with the emergence of aesthetic fatigue and the need for product iteration, the existing ones can no longer meet people's pursuit of creativity. At this time, if pearlescent pigments are added to the wires, the product appearance can be unique, more personalized and charming.
Pearlescent pigments, as the name suggests, can reproduce the luster and color of pearls, shells, corals and metals in nature. Microscopically, they are modified by coating metal oxides on a flaky substrate. They present the effect through refraction, reflection and transmission of light, and are semi-absorptive and semi-reflective pigments.

Pearlescent pigments have the advantages of high temperature resistance (above 300 degrees), weather resistance, non-fading, and chemical corrosion resistance. They can be used in various 3D printing plastics such as PLA, PETG, ABS, PA, and various applications. Adding about 1.0% can produce obvious pearlescent effects.
As a high-end pearlescent pigment manufacturer, Bellide has been focusing on the research and development and innovation of pearlescent pigments for 20 years. Its products have undergone upgrades and iterations from the 1.0-2.0-3.0-4.0 stages of research and development. Its current annual output is more than 3,000 tons, of which 95% are second-generation high-decorative effect products and functional products that solve industry pain points.

In terms of products, the gold series of Bellide has a very complete range of particle sizes, rich and diverse hues, and excellent and stable quality in the industry, which can fully meet the diverse needs of various customers. The hue of its technology silver series is highly close to that of aluminum silver powder, and the hue of the copper-gold pearlescent series is also very similar to that of copper-gold powder. It can replace metal powder to simulate a realistic metal texture, avoiding the problem of heavy metals exceeding the standard. It has space silver and titanium crystal series produced using its patented lattice recombination technology. The products do not contain carbon black and organic pigments, do not fade, and have better heat and weather resistance. It has a multi-color fantasy pearlescent chameleon series. The color of this product changes with the observation angle, and can change up to 4 colors. This series of products has quietly become popular in 3D printing filaments. Bellide chameleon products use imported glass as the base material, with transparent and pure colors, large particle size, and high glitter, which are not available in mica base materials.

Frequently asked questions
Q: How to solve the problem of insufficient brightness and sparkle when using pearlescent powder?
A: If you want brightness and sparkle, you need pearlescent powder with larger particle size and slightly increase the amount added.
Q: What should I do if the color of the chameleon pearlescent powder does not change obviously?
A: Haiyi can provide a complete color matching solution, and can also provide pearlescent powder products after color matching.
