Lumiere Metallic Essence is a range of colorful metallic pigments for use with resinous floor coatings. Composed of fine particles of malleable metals in elemental form, Metallic Essence provides stunning visual effects that are impossible using traditional organic and metal compound pigments.

Lumiere metallic essence retains many of the attributes of the bulk metal, such as solidity (opacity), metallic color, sheen, malleability, ductility, and density. Aluminum and gold bronze pigments provide the appearance of silver and gold respectively, with the aura of quality and prestige that these metals imply. For this reason, Lumiere designer epoxy flooring is often used in prestige applications to add value.
