Understanding the Technology of SilikMira Xtreme TGPR
Engineering Four-Way Color Travel
SilikMira Xtreme TGPR achieves its revolutionary four-way color travel from Turquoise–Green–Purple–Red through an advanced multi-layer coating process on a specialized substrate. Unlike traditional color-shifting pearls, this pigment utilizes a composite base of silica and aluminum powder. The aluminum provides a highly reflective, metallic base that dramatically amplifies the chromaticity and saturation of the color shifts, resulting in an effect that is brighter and more intense than conventional mica-based pigments.
Formulation Advantages of a Silica Substrate
The use of a silica substrate provides a smooth, uniform surface for precise layering, which is critical for achieving a distinct and fluid transition between four different colors.
This also results in a pigment with a uniform particle size distribution (10–60 μm), ensuring a smooth feel and application. In formulations, it disperses easily across various systems—from solvent-based nail lacquers to anhydrous gels and pressed powders—allowing formulators to achieve consistent and repeatable results.
Key Formulation Benefits
- Extreme 4-Way Color Shift: Delivers a best-in-class color travel effect from turquoise to green, purple, and red for creating premium, high-demand cosmetic products.
- Elevated Metallic Effect: The integrated aluminum powder substrate creates a brilliant metallic shine that enhances the chromatic effect for a true ‘wow’ factor.
- High Saturation & Chromaticity: Engineered for intense, vivid color that stands out in any formulation, reducing the need for high usage levels.
- Broad Formulation Versatility: Proven performance in eye, face, and nail applications, including liquids, powders, gels, and anhydrous systems.
