Products in Treated Pigments & Powders: Methicone

COLOURSPHERES® are spherical composite materials, in which colorants have been encapsulated into a polymer structure. Colourspheres® offer many advantages in comparison with conventional pigments as their structure is very different, and as their surface characteristics have been modified. The wetting properties of Colourspheres® are excellent due to their small specific surface area. They are hydrophilic in surface properties and very easy to disperse allowing time efficient color shading. Colourspheres WL 40 HB are hydrophobic and 40 microns in size.

Colourmat® products are platelet shaped particles giving good skin adherence. As the particles are platelet shaped and sized between 10-20 microns, Colourmats provide a matte appearance upon application. SILis a Dimethicone treatment, which gives soft feel and hydrophobic characteristics. Dimethicone treatment enhances wetting properties of the particles, and it has excellent photostablility.
