The glitter that we sell is made from totally 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 may 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 earlier than they’re cut.

There are completely different types and sizes of machines that are used for reducing glitter. Most machines have blades that cut the glitter into both hex form pieces or sq. form items relying 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 sq. flakes are fed straight in. Totally different blade configurations are used primarily based on the dimensions of the flake.

There are different applied sciences used by different companies of course.

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

You can take great film and run it through a badly set up machine and you’ll not get a clean cut. In case you take a look at low-cost glitter, you will not only see that the flakes aren’t uniform in shape, but you will notice little flecks of film that should not be there at all.

Loads of bad glitters come from outside the US where they use low cost film and operate machines that aren’t well arrange or have poor blades. Glitter from different international locations are additionally a wild card- is it really non-poisonous or are they just saying so? Reality in advertising shouldn’t be the identical world wide as it’s right here within the USA.

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