BLACK GLITTER, AND COSMETICS, COATING MATERIALS, INK OR RESIN COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THE GLITTER

摘要

The black bright pigment of the present invention includes a scaly inorganic base 10 and a coating 20 covering the inorganic base 10 and containing nanoparticles including a pure substance of metal element other than copper or a noble-metal alloy (free of copper) and the nanoparticles include crystal dendrites. The average particle size of the nanoparticles is preferably 20 to 50 nm. The average width of the crystal dendrites is preferably 10 nm or less. The pure substance of noble metal or noble metal contained in the noble-metal alloy is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of silver, gold, platinum, palladium and iridium.
