Performance & Formulation Insights for GlassMira BGG87
The Science of Borosilicate Sparkle
GlassMira BGG87 is built on a Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate substrate, also known as synthetic glass flake. Unlike natural mica, these flakes are exceptionally smooth, transparent, and uniform. This structural precision allows for unparalleled light reflection, producing a cleaner, more brilliant sparkle with vivid color purity. The large particle size (40–150 μm) maximizes the glistening effect, creating a dazzling, glitter-like finish with a striking blue-green-gold color travel.
Mastering Large Particle Formulation
The large particle size of GlassMira BGG87 benefits from specific formulation strategies to ensure stability and performance. In liquid systems such as nail polish or body gels, use effective suspending agents (e.g., hectorite, silica) to reduce settling. For pressed powders, a robust binder system promotes excellent adhesion and minimizes fallout, delivering a high-impact sparkle that stays in place without compromising comfort.
