Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for Diamond Variable YG 47
The Borosilicate Advantage for Unmatched Sparkle
Diamond Variable YG 47 is built on an Aluminum Calcium Sodium Silicate (borosilicate glass) substrate. This glass-flake base is smoother, thicker, and more transparent than natural mica, enabling exceptionally high light reflection. Precisely engineered layers of Titanium Dioxide and Iron Oxides create a vivid color travel effect that shifts dynamically with the viewing angle, producing a brilliant, glitter-like sparkle with striking chromatic movement.
Leveraging Large Particle Size for Impact
With a broad particle size distribution of 10–150 μm, Diamond Variable YG 47 is optimized for high-impact, statement finishes rather than subtle sheen. The larger, mirror-like platelets capture and reflect more light to deliver intense dazzle and visible color shift—ideal for bold eyeshadows, lip toppers, strobing highlighters, and specialty nail lacquers.
In liquid and gel systems, formulate with suitable suspension or yield-thixotropic rheology (e.g., hectorite/synthetic clays, specialized gums, or gel networks) to minimize settling. In pressed formats, pair with effective binders and use as an effect-topper or within textures where a pronounced sparkle is desired.
