Darmstadt, Germany, December 22, 2016 /Korea IT Times--Merck have released on December 15, presenting its latest pigment development: Xirallic® NXT Cougar Red. It is the fourth product of the Xirallic ® NXT brand under which Merck, the market leader in Al203-based pigments, is establishing a new series that calls to mind the beauty and fascination of wild cats. Panthera Silver creates a metallic shimmer, Leonis Gold an interplay of color and extraordinary sparkle, and Tigris
Blue a special intensity and brilliance. Now follows Cougar Red with a spectacular bluish red and lively sparkle.
“The mysterious appearance of the cougar and its powerful elegance gave the
pigment innovation its name,” explains Alexander Peters, Global Marketing Manager
Decorative Pigments at Merck. “Xirallic® NXT Cougar Red convinces in red stylings
through its high chroma, attractive flop behavior and brilliant red sparkle.” The red
crystalline pigments, used alone or in combination with Colorstream® Lava Red and
Meoxal®, impart a mysterious magic with an intense sparkle to automotive, plastic,
industrial and powder coatings. In addition, they open up a broad spectrum of
possible red shades – from dominant-fascinating to elegant-mysterious. The
newcomer’s powerful brilliance gives even more depth to black automotive coatings,
with a fascinating interplay of colors.
