Performance & Formulation Insights for Diamond Bronze
Warm Metallic Sparkle from Iron Oxide on Borosilicate Glass
Diamond Bronze is built on a borosilicate glass substrate that delivers exceptional clarity and light reflection. Iron oxides are precision-coated onto the glass platelets, creating a warm bronze metallic color with brilliant sparkle. The 20–500 μm particle range provides visible sparkle with warm metallic depth.
The borosilicate substrate is smoother and more transparent than natural mica, enabling superior light reflection and color intensity. This creates a cleaner, brighter sparkle effect with excellent chemical stability across a wide pH range.
Formulation Advantages of Borosilicate Technology
The glass-based substrate provides outstanding clarity, allowing the iron oxide color to appear vivid and saturated without the milky haze sometimes seen with mica-based pigments. The particle size range supports both pressed and liquid formulation types.
In liquid and gel systems, employ suitable suspension agents to maintain uniform distribution. The chemically stable borosilicate base performs well across anhydrous, emulsion, powder, and solvent-based systems.
Key Formulation Benefits
- Warm Metallic Sparkle: Iron oxide coating on borosilicate glass delivers a warm bronze metallic effect with exceptional brilliance.
- Superior Clarity: The glass substrate provides unmatched transparency for cleaner, brighter sparkle than mica-based alternatives.
- Versatile Formulation: Compatible with pressed powders, liquid formulations, nail lacquers, and anhydrous systems.
- Smooth Skin Feel: Despite the particle size, the smooth glass platelets ensure a comfortable, non-gritty application.
- Clean Beauty Compatible: TiO2-free, vegan, and cruelty-free to meet modern clean beauty standards.
