Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments are a product that can be used in a variety of ways. Jacquard Pearl Ex is a non-toxic, pearlescent powdered pigment with exceptional colorfastness and stability, making it excellent for interior and archival applications. Every artist, from watercolourists to auto painters, faux finishers to rubber stampers, can benefit from it. Combine it with Jacquard Gum Arabic for a unique flavor. Oils, acrylics, encaustic, Dorland's Wax, polymer clay, and other artist mediums can be blended with it, or it can be applied dry over porous surfaces. Pearl Ex has a metallic appearance but is not a metal and will not tarnish or fade. From a smooth pearly shine to a highly metallic gloss, varied particle sizes offer distinct appearances.
