01Markets & Applications

Four downstream markets

A pearlescent material is only as good as its performance in your system. We organise the portfolio by application, not by chemistry.

Coatings & Inks

Pearlescent and metallic effects for automotive refinish, industrial coatings, screen and flexo inks.

Plastics & Masterbatch

Surface effect and opacity control for injection moulding, blow moulding, masterbatch and film.

Appliances & Electronics

High sparkle and weathering performance for appliance casings, decorative panels and small appliances.

Cosmetics & Personal Care

Cosmetic-grade pearlescent raw materials for eyeshadow, lip gloss, nail polish, highlighters and body glitter.

02Four technology platforms

Four technology platforms

From substrate to surface treatment, every step shapes the final optical performance and compliance profile.

Natural mica

Classic pearlescent effect, mature process, best cost-performance.

Mica (CI 77019)

Synthetic mica

Lower heavy-metal content and purer hue for strict compliance.

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite

Borosilicate glass

High refractive index delivers stronger sparkle and clarity.

Calcium Sodium Borosilicate

Surface treatment

TiO₂ / Fe₂O₃ / SnO₂ coating and weathering treatment determine hue and stability.

04Quality & Compliance

Quality & Compliance

Compliance is not an annex to the product — it is part of it. Regulatory data sits alongside specifications here.

Regulatory watch

EU 2023/2055 microplastic restrictionHow restrictions on synthetic polymer microparticles affect glitter-type materials, and the alternatives.
EU 1223/2009 cosmetics regulationHeavy-metal limits and safety assessment requirements, with third-party test reports.
REACH and RoHSStatements of conformity for EU chemical registration and hazardous-substance restrictions.
INCI and formulation supportStandard INCI names and recommended dosage to support your formulation work.

Documents supplied

Technical documents are the first step in grade selection. Five standard documents ship with every batch.

05About us

About Rotashine

Qingdao Rotashine New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (Rotashine) develops and supplies pearlescent pigments and effect pigment preparations for coatings, plastics, appliances and cosmetics.

We believe the core value of a pearlescent material is consistency — shade number one and shade number ten should look identical. That is why we invest mainly in particle-size classification, surface treatment and batch inspection.
