The geometric layer thickness of the coating (A) is generally 50 to 800 nm, preferably 100 to 600 nm. Since the Layer (A) essentially determines the interference colors of the invention Pigments determines it has a particularly pronounced Farbenspiel facing and therefore preferred luster pigments only one layer packet (A) + (B), a minimum layer thickness of about 200 nm. If multiple (eg, 2, 3 or 4) layer packets (A) + (B) present, the layer thickness of (A) is preferably at 50 to 200 nm.
With increasing layer thickness of (A) are the dry pigment powder in the plan several times in succession, the interference colors watching Blue-green-gold-red-violet, which starting with the second order blue, the angular dependence of the hue increases. However, the interference colors are only in the dry state visible and disappear when wet or in the paint completely. The additional coating with (B), the optically variable layer visible in varnishes.

In the process for producing the luster pigments of the invention the coatings (A) and (B) are independently either wet-chemically by hydrolytic decomposition of organic or inorganic metal salts or by gas phase decomposition (CVD) of suitable volatile metal compounds applied.
Of course, both approaches can arbitrarily for preparing the individual layers are combined. If both applied coatings wet chemically, so it is unnecessary to intermediate drying the surface coated with (A) iron oxide platelets; becomes uses the same reaction medium, as can also the intermediate isolation . omitted Accordingly, the intermediate isolation usually also in the implementation of both coating steps not required by the CVD method.
layers to produce the silicon and / or aluminum oxide (hydrate) (A) are the wet chemical and the CVD preparation route likewise suitable.

The reduction of the iron (III) oxide platelets preferably is with reducing gases such as hydrogen made, said reduction temperatures from 150 to 600 ° C, in particular 200 to 500 ° C, are functional. At temperatures ≥ 600 ° C containing formed Magnetite increasing proportions of metallic iron. The increased magnetization of these pigments can be targeted as Another safety feature be exploited.
The reduction is in both process variants expediently rendered inert in an oven in which a mixing of the substrate is possible, carried out. For example were on a laboratory scale, a rotary kiln, ie a flask of quartz glass, which is rotated by a motor, with Gas supply and discharge lines is provided in the axis of rotation and a clamshell oven is heated, and for continuous Process on an industrial scale, a rotary kiln having internals for pigment mixing and gas supply and called dissipation.
Using the manufacturing method according to the invention can multiply coated luster pigments in a simple manner in large Quantities are produced reproducibly. There are completely coated pigment particles with high quality of the individual coatings (Homogeneous, filmlike).
