Abstract: There is disclosed a method for producing a pastel containing a pearl pigment therein by extrusion molding. The method comprises preparing a molding material composed of a mixture comprising a pearl pigment in an amount of 30-93% by weight, a coloring pigment in an amount of 0-16% by weight, a first extender selected from bentonite and montmorillonite in an amount of 7-47% by weight, and a second extender other than the first in an amount of 0-13% by weight, and water in an amount sufficient to render the molding material plastic and moldable, and extrusion-molding and drying the material.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for producing a pastel containing a fluorescent pigment therein by extrusion molding. The method comprises preparing a molding material composed of a mixture comprising a fluorescent pigment in an amount of 20-60% by weight, montmorillonite group minerals or clay mainly composed of montmorillonite group minerals as a first extender in an amount of 5-17% by weight, a second extender other than the first in an amount of 35-70% by weight, and a wetting agent in an amount of 0-6% by weight, based on the mixture, and water in an amount sufficient to render the molding material plastic and moldable, and extrusion-molding and drying the material.
