The present invention relates to a pearlescent pigment with large aspect ratio and a method of their preparation, and particularly to pearlescent pigments prepared by coating a metal or metal precursor on the flaky alpha-alumina crystals obtained by using an aluminum precursor aqueous solution and a zinc precursor aqueous solution as main ingredients. The crystals herein has an average particle thickness of 0.5 &#x3bc;m or less, an average particle diameter of 15 &#x3bc;m or higher and a large aspect ratio of 50 or higher, thereby being superior in gloss. The crystals show metal colors and interference colors of silver, gold, red, purple, blue and green.

Pearlescent pigments with large aspect ratio and a method of their preparation

The present invention relates to flaky alpha-alumina crystals with large aspect ratio and its preparation method, and particularly to flaky alpha-alumina crystals comprising aluminum oxide, zinc oxide and tin oxide, which are prepared by obtaining a mixed gel which are prepared by obtaining a mixed gel by means of hydrolysis of an aqueous aluminum precursor solution comprising aqueous flux, aqueous zinc precursor solution and tin precursor aqueous solution, followed by aging, drying and crystallization processes. The crystals herein have an average particle thickness of 0.5 &#x3bc;m or less, an average particle diameter of 30 &#x3bc;m or higher and an aspect ratio of 100 or higher, thus being useful as a substrate of high quality pearlescent pigments, an abrasive, ceramic material and a filling material.
