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 is a single solid color.
The holographic glitter is made from film that already has the holographic quality. The identical goes for iridescent. The films are colored and treated earlier than they're cut.
There are completely different types and sizes of machines that are used for slicing glitter. Most machines have blades that reduce the glitter into either hex shape items or square shape items relying on how the film is fed into it. Different machines die-lower shapes from the film. With some machines, the hex shape flakes are fed in at an angle and sq. flakes are fed straight in. Totally different blade configurations are used based on the size of the flake.
There are completely different applied sciences used by completely different corporations of course.
his is an endless topic as there are such a lot of differences between really good glitter and really bad glitter. First the film issues an entire lot. High-quality film goes to present you nice glitter.... or is it?
You may take great film and run it through a badly arrange machine and you will not get a clean cut. If you happen to check out cheap glitter, you will not only see that the flakes are not uniform in shape, however you will see little flecks of film that should not be there at all.
A number of bad glitters come from outside the US the place they use low-cost film and operate machines that aren't well set up or have poor blades. Glitter from different international locations are additionally a wild card- is it really non-poisonous or are they just saying so? Reality in advertising will not be the identical around the world as it's here in the USA.
Finally, there are coatings on films. For instance, when you buy a cheap metallic glitter it in all probability doesn't have an epoxy coating (ours does). This might not matter too much if you're utilizing it for easy crafts. However, it matters a lot if you are utilizing it for flooring, boats and in solvents!
