The Xilamaya series of pearlescent materials, an innovative product in this year’s coatings industry’s pigment category, is based on a unique silicoaluminate flake and employs a multi‑oxide overlay coating process. By seamlessly blending cutting‑edge technology with visual artistry, it delivers pearlescent pigments boasting an exceptionally high refractive index, an ultra‑high flash point, and impeccable color and opacity. Under light, these materials produce a three‑dimensional, richly layered, and elegantly textured visual effect.
Xilamaya’s innovation extends not only to science and technology but also to its development model. It has overturned the longstanding paradigm that high‑flash‑point products could only be produced using flaky alumina as a base, thereby breaking the global monopoly on this product line. As a result, previously sky‑high technological costs have been reduced, and relationships among people, between people and society, and between humans and nature have all moved toward greater sustainability, harmony, progress, and shared benefits. A new sense of purpose has emerged, liberated from our old development model—this represents the most profound exploration and revolution that Kunchai has undertaken in an era increasingly focused on creativity and quality, an era of comprehensive supply‑side upgrading.
Xilamaya marks a pivotal stage in Kuncai’s evolution—propelling it to new heights, at an accelerated pace, and along entirely new dimensions. Kuncai will not rest on its laurels but instead look ahead to the future.
