Glasurit 11 Line Multi-Effekt
The key advantage of Glasurit Multi-Effekt 11 Line is the confidence it gives a professional body shop and colour laboratory. Attempting to reproduce a complex three-stage pearl or Xirallic finish on a modern premium vehicle with generic or budget pigments often leads to mismatches: the colour may appear too green face-on or turn grey from the side, forcing a much larger repair area.
Original Glasurit 11 Line components help colourists and painters avoid these problems. The pigments correspond to those used in factory vehicle finishes and support a seamless blend between the repair and the original coating, whether working edge-to-edge or with a fade-out technique. Choosing 11 Line means choosing a leading global quality standard, dependable results and less time spent correcting demanding refinishing work.
Glasurit 11 Line Multi-Effekt is a premium range of ultra-high-concentration special-effect base components (tinters/mixes). The products are integrated into Glasurit colour systems, including the waterborne 90 Line and the conventional solvent-based 55 Line, in accordance with the relevant mixing formulas. They deliver outstanding accuracy when matching and repairing complex modern automotive finishes.
The 11 Line range includes pure Xirallic pigments, interference pearls, colour-shifting pigments, coloured liquid-metal effects and next-generation ultra-fine aluminium pigments. Thanks to their exceptional concentration and optical purity, these components reproduce colour depth, strong flop contrast—the change in shade at different viewing angles—and brilliant diamond-like sparkle in direct sunlight.
Key benefits of the range:
-
Premium BASF optical quality: Pigment particles feature precise geometry and transparency. They avoid cloudiness or a grey cast, producing a clean, deep shine and a rich finish.
-
Extreme Multi-Effekt concentration: A very small amount of component creates a powerful visual effect. This reduces the total paint-film thickness and improves the cost efficiency of colour matching.
-
Uniform distribution in the paint layer: The specialised polymer structure prevents particles from clumping. Xirallic and pearl pigments lie evenly on the panel, helping to eliminate dark stripes, patches and mottling.
-
Accurate OEM colour matching: The range is essential for reproducing complex factory colours used by Mazda (including Soul Red), Lexus, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Porsche. It is fully integrated with the Glasurit Refinity digital platform and the SmartSCAN spectrophotometer.
-
Versatile system compatibility: The pigments are designed to work reliably in both environmentally responsible waterborne systems and conventional solvent-based bases while maintaining stable chemical properties.
-
Precise professional packaging: Bottles with dedicated dispensers allow pigments to be added to a formula with accuracy down to one hundredth of a gram, minimising waste and unnecessary inventory.
| Pigment group | Visual effect on the vehicle body |
| Xirallic pigments | Produce a sharp, crystal-like sparkle in direct light, such as sunlight or LED lamps, while remaining highly transparent in shade. |
| Interference pearls | Create a smooth, silky colour shift. On curved panels they produce a strong contrast between the bright reflection area and the darker side tone. |
| Colorstream / colour-shifting pigments | Multilayer silicate particles that gradually change colour—for example, from green to violet—depending on the viewing angle. |
| Special aluminium pigments | Advanced coloured aluminium powders and ultra-fine “silver dollar” mixes designed to reproduce liquid-metal effects such as chrome or anodised steel. |
