Performance & Formulation Insights for GlassMira GRV86
The Science of High-Impact Borosilicate Sparkle
GlassMira GRV86 utilizes Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, a specialty glass flake, as its substrate. This perfectly smooth and transparent base provides an ideal surface for the deposition of metal oxides. The result is unparalleled reflectivity, purity of color, and chromatic intensity compared to natural mica. The precise layering of Titanium Dioxide and Tin Oxide creates the dramatic gold-to-red-to-violet color travel effect, which is amplified by the large 50–200 μm particle size for a truly dazzling sparkle.
Formulation Advantages of Large Particle Size
The chunky particle size of GRV86 is key to its high-impact visual effect. In liquid systems (such as nail polish or liquid highlighters), a robust suspension system is recommended to prevent settling. In pressed powders, specialized binders help ensure optimal adhesion and minimize fallout for comfortable wear and maximum payoff.
As a plastic-free glitter alternative, GRV86 supports the development of on-trend, environmentally conscious cosmetics without compromising on visual intensity or brilliance.
