Color Travel
Pigments
Two different technologies have recently
been developed to produce the exciting new effect shown by color travel
pigments carrying the brand name Xirona®.
One form has been produced by coating synthetically produced silica
flakes with metal oxides such as titanium dioxide or iron oxide. The
silica flakes have their own interference color, which is determined by
their thickness. For the creation of color effects, two variables can be
used. First, the thickness of the silica flakes and secondly, the
thickness of the metal oxide layers. Both can be precisely controlled
and so by combinations of layers with varying thickness many different
colors and effects can be achieved. The result is that the color of a
Xirona® pigment will change depending on the angle from which
it is viewed.
The other technology is multi layer on a mica substrate. If a SiO2
layer with low refractivity and a second highly reflective layer of TiO2
are correctly applied, these layers increase the reflection intensity of
each platelet by approx. 90 %. In addition, appropriate layer thickness
leads to interference systems with highly angle dependent colors; hence
the color of the pigment will change depending on the viewing angle.
The Xirona® Color Travel pigments may be used in all
cosmetic products, in combination with traditional pearl luster pigments
as well as both organic and inorganic colors. They disperse well in both
oil and water.
To achieve the best visible color travel use almost transparent,
translucent and semi opaque base formulations together with
transparent round , concave or vaulted packaging.
This new
range contains six pigments under the
brand name Xirona®. Formulations containing Xirona®
pigments you will find
here. |

Indian Summer (10-7)
Xirona® Indian Summer
A very attractive pearl pigment with high coverage creating intense
metallic shades with red-gold to bronze to green-gold color travel. The
stunning color travel effect is achieved using our patented technology
of synthetically manufactured silica flakes, coated with rutile titanium
dioxide. |

| Xirona Nordic
Sunset (9-4) Xirona®
Nordic Sunset
It shows a beautiful display of colors from silver-green under
perpendicular view, through silver-red to green-gold under oblique view.
The observed color depends on the direction of the light and the viewing
angles. |

Xirona Volcanic
Fire (9-8)Xirona®
Volcanic Fire
It displays a color travel from red to copper to gold with a
green hint. Based on our ex-clusive multilayer mica tech-nology
(comparable to that used for Xirona®
Carribean Blue), it combines strong bril-liance and high chroma of the
interference effect with this distinctive color change, de-pending on
the viewing angle. |

Xirona Kiwi Rose
(10-4)Xirona®
Kiwi Rose
It provides a brilliant strong color travel from green to
silver to peach. The stunning color travel effect is achieved using our
patented technology of synthetically manufactured silica flakes, coated
with rutile titanium dioxide.

Mauve (10-8) Xirona®
Magic Mauve
A highly transparent, very attractive interference pigment best suited
to create silvery pastel shades with lilac-red to silver to green-blue
color travel. The stunning color travel effect is achieved using our
patented technology of synthetically manufactured silica flakes, coated
with rutile titanium dioxide. |
