Performance & Formulation Insights for Diamond Silk Gold
Silky Color from Multi-Layer Coating on Borosilicate Glass
Diamond Silk Gold achieves its silky golden character through a precision coating of titanium dioxide and iron oxides on a borosilicate glass substrate. Tin oxide enhances adhesion and durability. The 10–100 μm particle range creates a refined, silky shimmer with smooth coverage.
The TiO2 layer provides brightness and reflectivity while iron oxides contribute the warm color tone. The borosilicate glass substrate is smoother and more transparent than mica, delivering cleaner, more intense sparkle with superior color saturation.
Technical Formulation Advantages
The fine particle size disperses smoothly in both pressed and liquid systems, creating an elegant, silky finish. The chemically stable glass base resists degradation across a wide pH range.
The high transparency of the borosilicate substrate allows the warm color to appear vivid and saturated. It layers well over other pigments without muddying the underlying shade, adding warmth and dimension to any formulation.
