Opaalplast
Opaalplast is a type of plastic material known for its milky or opaque appearance. It is commonly used in various applications where light diffusion or a softer aesthetic is desired, as opposed to transparent plastics. The opalescent quality is often achieved through the addition of specific pigments or fillers during the manufacturing process, which scatter light rather than allowing it to pass through directly. This scattering effect gives the plastic its characteristic cloudy or pearlescent look, which can range from a subtle translucency to complete opacity.
The specific properties of opaalplast can vary depending on the base polymer used and the additives incorporated.
Applications for opaalplast are diverse. It is frequently found in lighting fixtures, such as lampshades and
