Performance & Formulation Insights for Fantasy Orange Red
Fiery Orange-Red Through Iron Oxide on Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
Fantasy Orange Red creates a vibrant, warm orange-red through Iron Oxides (CI 77491) coated on a synthetic fluorphlogopite substrate. The synthetic base provides superior purity and optical clarity compared to natural mica, allowing the iron oxide colorant to express its full chromatic intensity. The result is a fiery, saturated orange-red with vivid color from every viewing angle.
What sets Fantasy Orange Red apart is its extraordinary 10–1000 μm particle range, one of the broadest in the Fantasy series. This ultra-wide distribution encompasses everything from fine, smooth shimmer particles to large, dramatic chunky flakes. The result is a multi-dimensional pigment that simultaneously delivers both refined shimmer and bold sparkle in a single ingredient.
Leveraging the Ultra-Broad Particle Distribution
The 10–1000 μm range creates unique formulation opportunities. Fine particles provide excellent base coverage and color saturation, while the largest flakes add dramatic visual sparkle points. This self-layering quality means a single pigment can produce a complex, multi-dimensional effect that would normally require blending multiple particle sizes.
In pressed and loose powder applications, the broad distribution provides good compressibility from the fine fraction while the large flakes create visible sparkle. In gel and liquid systems, formulators can leverage the full range for maximum visual impact or use settling and filtration techniques to select specific size fractions for targeted effects.
Key Benefits for Formulators
- Multi-Dimensional Effect: Ultra-broad 10–1000 μm range delivers both fine shimmer and chunky sparkle in a single pigment.
- Vibrant Orange-Red: Iron oxide colorant on synthetic fluorphlogopite creates a fiery, saturated orange-red with vivid intensity.
- Self-Layering Complexity: Broad particle distribution produces complex visual effects without needing to blend multiple pigments.
- TiO2-Free & Clean: Achieves vivid color without Titanium Dioxide. TiO2-free, ferro-free, carmine-free, vegan, and cruelty-free.
- High-Purity Substrate: Synthetic fluorphlogopite provides superior optical clarity and consistent quality batch to batch.
