Glitters and scatterings

Glitters and scatterings

We come across various forms of glitters and scatterings in our everyday life. Most glitters and scatterings are used as decorative materials, but there are also technical and industrial applications. 

The most commonly known use of glitters is on Christmas decorations, where it has been used for centuries for many attractive objects such as Christmas cards and Christmas tree baubles. 

Nowadays we offer not only glass glitters, but also aluminum glitters and polyester glitters. 
The main use of aluminum glitters is in the industrial production and processing of plastics where they are used in the production of 'master batches'. Various parts of everyday household appliances (eg vacuum cleaners, coffee machines etc.) are made from plastic materials produced using 'master batches'.

Another use of aluminum glitters is in wallpaper and decorative interior plaster often used in discos and nightclubs.

Polyester glitters are widely used in the cosmetic industry as an ingredient of creams and shower gels or shampoos. A major use of polyester glitters is in cosmetic nail varnish, which has become a sizeable industry in itself.

Colours or glues with a mixture of polyester glitters are also used in textile printing to highlight shimmering effects. Fine glitters are used in aerosol paints and varnishes.

Various forms of glitters are used to create shimmering effects in the production of candles, artificial flowers and many other decorative gift items. 

A very specific use of glitters is in the manufacture of anti-skid material on the floors of various forms of transport (for example trams, trains, buses ect.). Phosphorescent holographic glitters are used in emergency exits signs on all of these forms of transport.
