How Glitter is Made
The glitter that we sell is made from two 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 solid color.
The holographic glitter is made from film that already has the holographic quality. The same goes for iridescent. The films are colored and treated before they are cut.
There are completely different types and sizes of machines which can be used for slicing glitter. Most machines have blades that reduce the glitter into either hex form items or square shape pieces depending on how the film is fed into it. Different machines die-cut shapes from the film. With some machines, the hex form flakes are fed in at an angle and sq. flakes are fed straight in. Totally different blade configurations are used based on the scale of the flake.
There are different applied sciences utilized by different companies of course.
his is an finishless topic as there are such a lot of differences between really good glitter and really bad glitter. First the film matters an entire lot. High-quality film goes to provide you nice glitter.... or is it?
You'll be able to take nice film and run it through a badly set up machine and you will not get a clean cut. If you take a look at low cost glitter, you'll not only see that the flakes should not uniform in form, but you will notice little flecks of film that should not be there at all.
A variety of bad glitters come from outside the US the place they use low-cost film and operate machines that aren't well arrange or have poor blades. Glitter from different nations are also a wild card- is it really non-poisonous or are they just saying so? Fact in advertising is not the identical around the globe as it's here within the USA.
Finally, there are coatings on films. For example, in case you buy a cheap metallic glitter it probably does not have an epoxy coating (ours does). This might not matter too much if you are utilizing it for easy crafts. Nevertheless, it issues rather a lot in case you are utilizing it for floors, boats and in solvents!
