Pearl Ex creates a pearlized or metallic look without being a metal. The particles are flat platelets with two
surfaces, therefore it lays down beautifully like a thin coating of metal. The different particle sizes produce
different looks—from a fine, smooth, pearly luster to a highly metallic sheen.

It is a safe, non-toxic, inert powdered pigment with a neutral pH. It is extremely color fast and stable. It will
not tarnish or fade and is therefore ideal for archival applications.
