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 is a single strong 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 before they are cut.

There are completely different types and sizes of machines which are used for reducing glitter. Most machines have blades that reduce the glitter into either hex shape items or square shape pieces depending on how the film is fed into it. Other machines die-reduce shapes from the film. With some machines, the hex form flakes are fed in at an angle and square flakes are fed straight in. Totally different blade configurations are used primarily based on the scale of the flake.

There are totally different applied sciences utilized by completely different firms of course.

his is an endless matter as there are so many differences between really good glitter and really bad glitter. First the film issues a whole lot. High-quality film goes to offer you nice glitter…. or is it?

You possibly can take nice film and run it via a badly arrange machine and you will not get a clean cut. When you take a look at low-cost glitter, you will not only see that the flakes usually are not uniform in form, but you will notice little flecks of film that should not be there at all.

A lot 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 other international locations are also a wild card- is it really non-poisonous or are they just saying so? Fact in advertising will not be the identical all over the world as it is right here in the USA.

Finally, there are coatings on films. For instance, in the event you buy an inexpensive metallic glitter it in all probability doesn’t have an epoxy coating (ours does). This could not matter too much if you’re using it for easy crafts. However, it matters lots if you’re using it for floors, boats and in solvents!
