The Technology Behind Diamond Variable CR 27’s Dazzling Shift

Superior Optics of Borosilicate Substrates

Diamond Variable CR 27 is engineered using Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, a synthetic glass substrate renowned for exceptional transparency, smoothness, and a high refractive index. Unlike natural mica, these perfectly smooth platelets act like tiny mirrors, producing a brighter, cleaner, and more intense sparkle that elevates any formula.

Creating Drastic Color Travel with an Opaque Base

This pigment achieves a bold red-to-blue/green color travel through a precise Iron Oxide coating. Critically, Diamond Variable CR 27 features an inherent base color, so the chromatic shift remains vivid and immediately visible on light or dark surfaces—no black base coat required—giving formulators greater creative control.
