How Glitter is Made
The glitter that we sell is made from completely different types of film. The Craft Glitter is made from PVC film and the Polyester Glitter is made from PET films. The iridescent line combines both PET and acrylic together.
The metallic glitters are made from film that could be a single stable color.
The holographic glitter is made from film that already has the holographic quality. The identical goes for iridescent. The films are colored and handled earlier than they are cut.
There are completely different types and sizes of machines which are used for slicing glitter. Most machines have blades that lower the glitter into either hex shape items or square form items depending on how the film is fed into it. Other machines die-reduce shapes from the film. With some machines, the hex form flakes are fed in at an angle and square flakes are fed straight in. Totally different blade configurations are used primarily based on the scale of the flake.
There are totally different technologies utilized by different corporations of course.
his is an endless topic as there are such a lot of variations between really good glitter and really bad glitter. First the film matters a complete lot. High-high quality film goes to provide you nice glitter.... or is it?
You possibly can take great film and run it by way of a badly arrange machine and you'll not get a clean cut. In case you take a look at cheap glitter, you'll not only see that the flakes are usually not uniform in shape, but you will note little flecks of film that shouldn't be there at all.
Numerous bad glitters come from outside the US the place they use low cost film and operate machines that are not well set up or have poor blades. Glitter from other nations are additionally a wild card- is it really non-poisonous or are they just saying so? Reality in advertising is not the same all over the world as it is here within the USA.
Finally, there are coatings on films. For instance, if you happen to buy a cheap metallic glitter it most likely doesn't have an epoxy coating (ours does). This may not matter an excessive amount of if you're using it for easy crafts. Nevertheless, it issues loads if you're using it for flooring, boats and in solvents!
