Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for Diamond Variable GR 27
Engineering a Dynamic Red-to-Green Effect
Diamond Variable GR 27 leverages a large-particle calcium sodium borosilicate (glass) substrate that is smoother and more reflective than natural mica. This ultra-clear base is coated with a precise layer of iron oxides (CI 77491), enabling an intense optical interaction that shifts from a fiery red to a brilliant green as the viewing angle changes.
Unlike standard interference pearls, this pigment includes an inherent base color that amplifies the chromatic travel, producing a more drastic, high-impact shift that reads vividly in both direct and diffuse lighting.
Formulation Advantages of Borosilicate Technology
The larger particle range (20–150 µm) is critical to achieving a sparkling, jewel-like finish. The borosilicate substrate offers exceptional transparency and clarity, allowing the red-to-green travel to remain crisp and saturated without a milky haze.
Its optical purity and stability support use across a wide variety of systems—from pressed powders and gels to glosses and nail lacquers—delivering consistent, show-stopping effects without compromising formula performance.
