Performance & Formulation Insights for Bichroma Aqua
Superior Aquatic Duochrome Performance
Bichroma Aqua achieves its signature aqua-to-blue color travel through a precise layering of Chromium Hydroxide Green over a Bismuth Oxychloride-coated mica platelet. The highly lustrous and crystalline structure of BiOCl amplifies the chromatic shift, creating a brighter, more metallic-like effect with exceptional reflectivity compared to standard interference pigments.
Key Technical Advantages in Formulation
The use of BiOCl as a core component offers significant functional advantages.
Its unique platelet structure promotes superior binding and press-ability in powder formulas, reducing the need for excess binders.
In liquid or gel systems, it disperses easily to create a homogenous and stable final product, simplifying the manufacturing process while enhancing product texture and performance.
