Understanding the Performance of GlassMira BGG88
The Science of Borosilicate Color Travel
GlassMira BGG88 utilizes Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, a synthetic glass flake, as its substrate. Unlike natural mica, these flakes are exceptionally smooth and highly transparent, creating the perfect base for thin layers of metal oxides. This advanced structure enables cleaner light refraction and reflection, yielding a brighter, more intense blue-to-green-to-gold color shift with a brilliant, diamond-like sparkle that stands out in any formulation.
Formulation Advantages for Maximum Impact
The large particle size (30–100 μm) of GlassMira BGG88 is engineered for maximum visual impact, delivering a bold, glistening effect rather than a subtle shimmer. Its high transparency ensures that the color travel remains vivid and true—without a muted or gray undertone—making it ideal for feature effects where sparkle and chromatic movement are the primary goals.
For the most dramatic shift, formulate in clear or translucent bases, or apply over a dark, contrasting color to enhance optical interference and reveal the full blue-to-green-to-gold travel.
