Jacquard Pearl-Ex Powdered Pigments are extremely versatile. They can be mixed into any media and applied to any surface. And the variety of finishes Pearl-Ex can produce is nearly endless—from metallic sheens to pearlescent shimmers to all manner of faux finishes.

To achieve interesting effects, Pearl-Ex can be mixed into Perfect Paper Adhesive - Matte or Gloss, Gum Arabic, 101 Artist's Cement or applied directly to Duo Adhesive, which dries tacky. It also can be applied to any varnish, oil, acrylic, gouache, clay, melted wax-- Almost any medium! And they can be applied to clay, glass, metal, wood, paper, fabric-- Almost anything!

Pearl Ex creates a metallic look without being a metal. The particles are flat platelets with two surfaces, therefore it lays down beautifully like a thin coating of metal. The different particle sizes produce different looks — from a fine, smooth, pearly luster to a highly metallic sheen.

It is a safe, non-toxic, inert powdered pigment with a neutral pH. It is extremely color fast and stable — it will not tarnish or fade and is therefore ideal for archival applications.
