DISCOVER OUR PORTFOLIO OF INTERFERENCE PIGMENTS

The majority of our Timiron® silverwhite pigments is characterized by variable titanium dioxide layers on natural or synthetic mica or aluminum oxide platelets. Our silverwhite pigments vary in particle size distribution, ranging from 1 – 15 μm (Timiron® Supersilk MP-1005) to 20 – 180 μm (Timiron® Ice Crystal). Depending on their particle size and pigment composition, they display different silverwhite lustrous effects ranging from subtle to satiny, pearly, metallic, or even sparkly.    

A fascinating interplay of colors

Timiron® pigments create a translucent shimmer while providing a natural look to the skin.

Sink into the luxury of luster 

Timiron® Silk Colors are fine particle size (5 – 25 μm) pigments which provide luminous interference color and the soft, silky luster characteristics of finer particles. Looking for more shimmer and shine? Timiron® Super Colors (10 – 60 μm) provide an iridescent, more lustrous pearl effect in formulations. 

Brilliant shine you cannot escape 

Timiron® Splendid Colors (10 – 60 μm) are produced by depositing layers of titanium dioxide and silica onto a mica substrate for maximum brilliance. Timiron® Starlight Colors' large particles (10 – 125 μm) provide sparkling iridescent effects. Thanks to the synthetic substrate Timiron® SynBeam pigments provide clear and bright colorful shimmer effects.
