What Is Xirallic?
Xirallic is a sophisticated effect pigment technology used in the most demanding premium metallic lacquers. Unlike conventional metallic pigments, Xirallic pigments create a deeper, more vivid colour shift.
These crystals are larger, flatter, and more uniform than metallic flakes. The result: a deeper, more brilliant effect with stronger color shift depending on viewing angle.
Viola Prisma in Detail
Our signature finish Viola Prisma is a 3-layer system:
Layer 1: Black Base — A deep black base coat absorbs light and forms the dark foundation for the color shift.
Layer 2: Xirallic Effect Layer — Violet Xirallic crystals are applied in a transparent binder. The crystals align parallel to the surface during flash-off time — this creates the characteristic depth effect.
Layer 3: Clear Coat — Multiple coats of premium clear coat seal the effect and give the finish its depth and durability.
The Color Shift
Viewed head-on, Viola Prisma appears as a deep, almost black aubergine. As the viewing angle changes, the color shifts to a luminous violet. Under direct light, the crystals sparkle like thousands of tiny diamonds.
