Performance & Formulation Insights for Sterling Super Sparkling Silver
The Science of Superior Sparkle
Sterling Super Sparkling Silver is engineered using Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, a specialized glass flake, as its substrate. Unlike natural mica, these synthetically produced flakes have an exceptionally smooth and uniform surface. This structural perfection results in a near-perfect mirror-like reflection, producing a cleaner, more intense, and significantly brighter sparkle than what’s possible with traditional mineral-based pigments.
Unrivaled Brilliance from Pure Silver
This pigment achieves its true silver color and metallic luster from a coating of pure Silver (CI 77820). This use of real metal provides a level of chromatic purity and reflectivity that cannot be replicated by pigments using other materials to simulate a silver effect. The large particle size (30–220 μm) further enhances the visual impact, creating a dramatic, glittering effect perfect for statement products.
