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 each 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 identical goes for iridescent. The films are colored and handled earlier than they're cut.
There are totally different types and sizes of machines which can be used for reducing glitter. Most machines have blades that minimize the glitter into both hex form items or sq. shape pieces relying on how the film is fed into it. Other 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 mostly on the size of the flake.
There are completely different applied sciences utilized by different firms of course.
his is an endless topic as there are so many differences between really good glitter and really bad glitter. First the film matters an entire lot. High-high quality film goes to give you nice glitter.... or is it?
You can take great film and run it by a badly arrange machine and you will not get a clean cut. In case you take a look at low-cost glitter, you'll not only see that the flakes should not uniform in shape, but you will note little flecks of film that should not be there at all.
Lots of bad glitters come from outside the US where they use cheap film and operate machines that are not well arrange or have poor blades. Glitter from other countries are also a wild card- is it really non-toxic or are they just saying so? Reality in advertising is not the same world wide as it is right here in the USA.
Finally, there are coatings on films. For example, when you buy an inexpensive metallic glitter it most likely doesn't have an epoxy coating (ours does). This might not matter too much if you're using it for simple crafts. Nonetheless, it issues quite a bit if you are utilizing it for flooring, boats and in solvents!
