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 each PET and acrylic together.

The metallic glitters are made from film that is a single stable color.

The holographic glitter is made from film that already has the holographic quality. The same goes for iridescent. The films are colored and handled earlier than they are cut.

There are completely different types and sizes of machines which are used for slicing glitter. Most machines have blades that lower the glitter into both hex shape items or square form items relying on how the film is fed into it. Different machines die-minimize shapes from the film. With some machines, the hex shape flakes are fed in at an angle and square flakes are fed straight in. Totally different blade configurations are used primarily based on the dimensions of the flake.

There are different technologies utilized by different firms of course.

his is an endless topic as there are such a lot of differences between really good glitter and really bad glitter. First the film issues an entire lot. High-high quality film goes to give you nice glitter…. or is it?

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

Quite a lot of bad glitters come from outside the US the place they use low cost film and operate machines that are not well set up or have poor blades. Glitter from different international locations are additionally a wild card- is it really non-toxic or are they just saying so? Reality in advertising isn’t the same all over the world as it’s here in 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 could not matter too much in case you are utilizing it for easy crafts. Nonetheless, it matters quite a bit if you’re utilizing it for flooring, boats and in solvents!
