Jacquard Pearl Ex Powdered Pigment - Series 2 Set (12 Colors)

Expand your creative spectrum with the next evolution of shimmering, metallic, and duo-tone effects. The Pearl Ex Series 2 Set is a curated collection of 12 vibrant powdered pigments designed to turn any clear medium into a custom pearlescent masterpiece. Safe, inert, and pH-neutral, these pigments provide extreme colorfastness and structural stability that will never tarnish or fade.

Because Pearl Ex creates a professional metallic look without using actual metal, your designs are immune to rust and oxidation. This set is the industry standard for high-end craft and fine art applications, including resin casting, polymer clay, and custom airbrushing.


Why Choose Pearl Ex Series 2 Pigments?

  • Maximum Versatility: Mix into acrylics, oils, epoxy resins, alcohol inks, varnishes, and even candle wax.

  • Tarnish-Free Shine: Non-metallic composition ensures colors stay brilliant and never oxidize over time.

  • Duo-Chrome Effects: Includes unique color-shifting pigments that react to light angles and base surface colors.

  • Extreme Colorfastness: UV-resistant pigments that maintain their intensity in any environment.


Technical Specifications & Application

To achieve the best results with Jacquard Pearl Ex, follow these professional guidelines:

Feature Recommendation
Pigment Quantity Twelve (12) 0.11 oz (3 g) jars
Airbrush Tip Size 0.5 mm or larger (required for particle clearance)
Surface Compatibility Paper, Clay, Wood, Leather, Glass, and Fabric
Binder Required Must be mixed with a medium (Gum Arabic, Varnish, etc.)
Safety Status Non-toxic; NOT for cosmetic use (Not for skin/makeup)

Creative Application Instructions

  1. DIY Watercolors: Mix 4 parts Pearl Ex with 1 part Gum Arabic and water. Reconstitute with water even after drying for calligraphy or painting.

  2. Resin & Casting: Stir directly into epoxy or casting resins to achieve deep, swirling "galaxy" effects and pearlescent finishes.

  3. Surface Tinting: * Polymer Clay: Dust onto molds for easy release and a brilliant surface tint.

    • Fabric Arts: Blend with Jacquard Textile Colorless Extender for washfast, shimmering designs.

  4. Sealing: When dusting directly onto surfaces, seal with a spray lacquer. Let the mist fall onto the piece to avoid blowing the powder away.


Pro Tips for Professional Results

  • The Dark Base Advantage: Colors like Duo Violet-Brass work best over black or dark surfaces to reveal their hidden color-shifting properties.

  • Airbrush Preparation: Always ensure the powder is thoroughly incorporated into a clear medium before airbrushing to prevent particle clumping.

  • Custom Stains: Mix Pearl Ex with a clear wood sealer to create unique, vibrant metallic wood stains for furniture and sculpture.
