Advanced Formulation with Fiesta Gemini BVR-29

The Science of High-Chroma Color Travel

Fiesta Gemini BVR-29 achieves its dramatic multi-tonal shift through a precise coating of iron oxides and silica on a synthetic fluorphlogopite substrate. The large, smooth platelets of synthetic mica act as near-perfect mirrors, while controlled metal oxide layers refract and reflect light to create a vivid transition from cyan and blue to purple and red. This technology produces a cleaner, more chromatic effect versus natural mica-based alternatives.

Leveraging Large Particle Size for Maximum Impact

With a particle size of 80–180 µm, Fiesta Gemini BVR-29 is engineered for maximum sparkle and visual texture. It excels in formats where bold scintillation is desired. In liquid and gel systems, use appropriate suspension agents (e.g., hectorite/synthetic clays or yield-thixotropic modifiers) to prevent settling and maintain an even, dazzling distribution of effect.
