Borosilicate pearlescent pigments are made by coating high transparency borosilicate glass flakes with metal oxides (such as titanium dioxide). Borosilicate glass, known for its high heat resistance and durability, forms a strong base.
The pigments are a unique type of shimmering pigment, valued for their special properties in various industries like cosmetics, coatings, and plastics.
Unlike natural mica pigments, which have impurities and weaker heat resistance, borosilicate pigments offer more consistent quality and durability. They also outperform some synthetic mica pigments in high-temperature scenarios.

Key Properties
Bright Shine: The smooth glass surface, combined with precise oxide coatings, creates more clear color space and higher color density. Thicker substrates create 3D diamond luster effect.
Exceptional Heat Resistance: They can withstand high temperatures, making them ideal for applications like high-heat coatings or plastic molding.
Strong Durability: Resistant to chemicals and weathering, they maintain their shine and color longer than many other pearlescent pigments.
Stable Colors: Their color doesn’t easily fade or change under harsh conditions.
Applications
Plastics: Mixed into plastic items that need to retain shine even after exposure to heat or chemicals.
Industrial Coatings: Used in coatings for appliances or machinery that face high heat.
Cosmetics: Added to products like high-end eyeshadows for a long-lasting, radiant finish.
