COATED PARTICLE WITH SHIMMERING APPEARANCE AND ENGINEERED STONE CONTAINING COATED PARTICLES

摘要

A coated particle having a shimmering appearance to an observer contains a refractive particle, a transparent coating on the refractive particle, ref lective particles and refractive particles embedded in the coating, with one of the reflective particles or the reflective particles primarily at a surf ace of the coating. Also an engineered stone has a shimmering appearance due to incorporation of coated particles.
