Synthetic Mica Engineered for Performance

Under the GNMI umbrella, SUSONITY and Chesir are closing a gap for value-in-use driven customers by offering a high-quality effect solution that combines visual brilliance with robust performance and international availability.

At the heart of ChesCrystal is synthetic mica, manufactured in an industrial production setting. Compared to natural mica, this allows for:

  • High color intensity
    Controlled layer design in substrate and surfaces enable clean, saturated color tones, even at reduced addition levels in inks, masterbatches other industrial applications.
  • Strong reflectivity
    Optimized plate structure and surface quality lead to pronounced, crisp light reflection – ideal for high-impact metallic like and pearlescent semitransparent effects in plastics and printed surfaces.
  • Harmonious particle size distribution
    A narrow and balanced particle size curve supports smooth film formation, low graininess and uniform coverage, reducing issues such as e.g. streaking.

For industrial users, this translates into stable, predictable behavior in processing – whether in extrusion and injection molding, in masterbatch production, or in printing and coating lines.

    ChesCrystal
    Our synthetic mica pearlescent pigment series (ChesCrystal) uses synthetic mica crystals as a substrate and is coated with titanium dioxide, iron oxide and/or other metal oxides by using the latest materials technology. Compared with the natural mica pearlescent pigment series, the whiteness is higher, the color concentration is better and the metallic luster is stronger. The performance of the rainbow, gold and iron series is particularly excellent, providing a rich crystal-like color feature. Synthetic mica has no impurities and is high-temperature and corrosion resistant. It has broad application prospects in the pearlescent pigment industry and provides the best choice for segments with strict compliance requirements.
