Zusammenfassung:Non-conductive pigments, coatings, films, articles, methods of manufacture thereof, and methods of use thereof are provided. The non-conductive pigment comprises a flake comprising at least four layers comprising alternating low index of refraction layers and high index of refraction layers. A difference in an average index of refraction between adjacent layers as measured over a wavelength range of 400 nm to 700 nm is at least 1.5. In certain examples, the high index of refraction layers have a Q value of at least 0.930, such as, at least 0.950 or at least 1.000. The pigment has an average visible specular reflectance of at least 80% and the pigment exhibits and the flake has a bandwidth of at least 300 nm between an upper wavelength and a lower wavelength at which a specular reflectance drops below 50%.
