PERFORMANCE & FORMULATION INSIGHTS FOR DIAMOND FINE SILVER
The Science of Brilliant Sparkle
Diamond Fine Silver achieves its signature sparkle through calcium sodium borosilicate—a glass-based substrate known for exceptional clarity and light reflection. The titanium dioxide coating (5-10%) creates the silver color effect, while trace tin oxide enhances adhesion and durability. This combination produces clean, bright silver sparkle with superior clarity compared to traditional metallic pigments.
Superior Performance Across Formulation Types
Engineered for versatility, Diamond Fine Silver performs excellently in both aqueous and anhydrous systems. Its broad particle size distribution (20–150 µm) creates a dynamic sparkle effect with varied light reflection. The high oil absorption (65-95 g/100g) ensures excellent binding in pressed formulations, while the chemically stable borosilicate base resists degradation in a wide pH range (7.0-11.0).
