Formulating with SilikMira Ice VRO: The Science of Crushable Flakes

Extra-Large Particle Engineering for Visual Impact

SilikMira Ice VRO utilizes an exceptionally large particle size of 200-5000 µm on a Calcium Sodium Borosilicate and Silica substrate. This unique structure creates a dramatic, shattered-flake appearance that provides intense visual texture and dimension in finished products, setting them apart from standard shimmer or pearl effects.

Transformative ‘Crush’ Technology

The innovation lies in the pressure-sensitive nature of the flakes. Upon application, mechanical pressure crushes the flakes, breaking them down into smaller particles. This action releases a smooth, high-intensity interference color-travel effect, transitioning from violet to red to orange. The result is a unique tactile and visual experience with a bold, color-shifting finish.

Key Formulation Benefits

  • Dramatic Textural Effects: Ultra-large flakes create bold, chunky looks that are visually striking and perfect for statement products.
  • Interactive Color Transformation: Flakes crush on application to release a vibrant violet–red–orange color shift for a dynamic user experience.
  • High-Impact Visuals: Delivers a striking ‘wow’ factor that mimics the appearance of crushed gemstones or glass for premium appeal.
