General Information
Comet Chemical pigments are high-quality metallic and pearl mica powders designed to create rich color effects, metallic finishes, and long-lasting coatings for both professional and creative applications.
Metallic pigments create a true metal-like finish, while pearl mica pigments produce a shimmering, pearlescent effect. Both are used in clear systems but deliver different visual results.
Our metallic pigments are made from high-quality metallic bronze powders, engineered to provide strong reflectivity and a realistic metal appearance.
No. Our pigments are color-stable, fade-resistant, and do not darken, ensuring long-lasting performance in resins and coatings.
Usage and Application
Metallic pigments are mixed into transparent varnishes, resins, or coating systems and applied by brush, roller, or spray gun.
Add a small amount of pigment into clear epoxy resin, mix thoroughly, and adjust the amount depending on the desired opacity and effect before application.
- Brush application: 15–20 g per 100 g varnish
- Spray application: 7–10 g per 100 g varnish
Adjust as needed for your desired effect.
Yes. For best results, use a 1.8 mm nozzle and apply two light coats. Recommended spray viscosity is 15 seconds.
Our pigments can be used with:
- Epoxy resins
- Solvent-based acrylics
- Polyurethane systems
- Cellulosic coatings
- Water-based acrylic varnishes
- Adhesives
No. Pigments must be used in transparent or clear bases to achieve their full metallic or pearlescent effect.
Suitable surfaces include wood, furniture, marble, polyester, polyurethane, polypropylene, glass, and metal when used with appropriate coatings.
Performance & Durability
For most applications, a clear varnish is recommended. However, our 2K metallic paints provide scratch resistance and may not require an additional protective layer.
Yes, when used with appropriate exterior-grade coatings, they offer excellent durability and resistance.
No. When stored properly in a cool, dry place, pigments have a long shelf life and maintain performance.
Technical Details
Pearl pigments range from 5 to 500 microns
- Smaller particles = more coverage
- Larger particles = more sparkle
Yes, pigments can be blended to create custom colors and unique effects.
Yes, they are compatible with various solvent-based systems and maintain stability during use.

Metallic Paints & Epoxy Concentrates
General Questions
1K metallic paints are single-component, ready-to-use coatings, while 2K metallic paints are two-component systems that provide enhanced durability, chemical resistance, and scratch resistance.
1K paints are easier to apply and ideal for general use, while 2K paints offer higher performance, stronger adhesion, and superior scratch resistance.
Our metallic paints are solvent-based coatings formulated with our high-quality metallic pigments, ensuring rich color, strong metallic effect, and consistent finish.
Perfromance & Benefits
Our paints are designed to eliminate common color inconsistency and gloss issues, providing a smooth, uniform, and high-quality metallic finish.
In many cases, no. Our 2K metallic paints are scratch-resistant, often eliminating the need for an additional protective varnish.
Yes, both 1K and 2K systems offer strong adhesion and long-lasting performance, with 2K systems providing the highest durability.
Application & Surfaces
Our metallic paints adhere well to:
- Wood
- Iron
- Aluminum
- Stainless steel
- Polycarbonate
They can be applied using spray guns, brushes, or rollers, depending on the surface and project requirements.
Yes, our coatings are developed for both professional industrial applications and high-end decorative use.
Epoxy Concentrates
General Information
Epoxy concentrates are highly concentrated pigment systems designed to be mixed into epoxy resin for flooring, coatings, and artistic applications.
They provide strong color intensity, easy mixing, and consistent results, making them ideal for epoxy flooring professionals and resin artists.
They are perfect for epoxy flooring contractors, resin artists, and industrial users looking for efficient and reliable coloring solutions.
Simply mix the concentrate into clear epoxy resin and adjust the ratio depending on the desired color intensity.
Marble Effect Roll Foil
General Questions
Marble effect roll foil is a decorative transfer film used to create realistic marble patterns on surfaces using a special adhesive system.
It can be applied on properly prepared surfaces such as wood, MDF, coated panels, and primed materials.
Application Process
The surface is first coated and sanded, then Comet Chemical Roll Glue is applied using a spray gun. After partial drying, the foil is carefully transferred onto the surface using pressure and smoothing tools.
After applying the adhesive, it should dry for 40–60 minutes at room temperature (15–25°C) in a dust-free environment.
- Spray gun (1.8 mm nozzle)
- Application felt (squeegee)
- Roller
- Sandpaper (various grits)
Use an application felt wrapped with a soft cloth for smoother movement and apply even pressure across the surface.
Finishing and Durability
Yes, applying clear shellac (gomalak) enhances color clarity, followed by polyurethane and acrylic polyester coatings for durability.
- Polyurethane: 3 coats (2 light + 1 full coat)
- Acrylic polyester: 3 coats (2 light + 1 full coat)
Sanding removes surface imperfections and ensures a smooth, high-quality finish.
The full professional process typically takes 1–2 days, including drying and finishing steps.
Results & Performance
A high-gloss, realistic marble effect with depth and clarity when properly applied.
Apply two layers of clear shellac after transfer, with short intervals, to enhance the marble effect.
Proper surface preparation and correct adhesive drying time are critical for a successful transfer.
