Performance & Formulation Insights for GlassMira VBG86

The Borosilicate Advantage: Purity and Brilliance

GlassMira VBG86 is engineered using Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, a synthetic glass substrate renowned for its exceptional transparency and smoothness. Unlike natural mica, this ultra-pure base minimizes background color, allowing for incredibly vivid, clean chromatic effects. The result is a brighter, more dramatic color shift and a more brilliant, glass-like sparkle.

Engineering Large Particle Optics

The 50–200 μm particle size range is optimized for maximum light reflection, creating a dazzling, glistening effect rather than a subtle shimmer. Each large platelet behaves like a tiny mirror, producing a bold, eye-catching sparkle that stands out in any formula. This makes GlassMira VBG86 ideal for high-impact, statement products where visual texture and intense brilliance are essential.
