Performance & Formulation Insights for Chromatique Silver Gray
Superior Color Intensity & Saturation
Chromatique Silver Gray is engineered by depositing a highly saturated iron oxide layer onto a natural mica and titanium dioxide substrate. This process creates a much more intense and richer color effect compared to a simple blend of the raw materials. The result is a deep, smoky gray with a pronounced metallic luster and superior opacity, allowing formulators to achieve full coverage with lower pigment loading.
Versatile Particle Size for Smoothness & Impact
With a broad particle size distribution of 10–60 μm, this pigment strikes an ideal balance between visual impact and tactile feel. The finer particles ensure a smooth, satin-like application, while the larger particles contribute to the visible metallic sparkle. This versatility makes it a reliable choice for a wide range of cosmetic systems, from fine-milled pressed powders to high-viscosity creams and lacquers.
