As functional filler Microspheres provide widely used functions:
LUXSIL® is a good dispersing aid
• Because it is spherical, LUXSIL® breaks up agglomerates to give a more homogeneous dispersion
• Helps eliminate streaking
• Used to detactify emulsions without increasing viscosity
LUXSIL® decreases viscosity (it is spherical)
• Allows increased "play time" (time to apply product before it dries)
• Enhances flow and spreading properties
• Facilitates more uniform application
LUXSIL® has optical properties
• More transparent than most powders
• Does not whiten the formulation
• Imparts a "soft focus" look (The sphere is hollow, so it redirects the angle of light)
• Most appropriate for flat, not glossy finishes
LUXSIL® is economical to use
• Less expensive than most spherical powders (nylon, PMMA)
• Does not absorb resins or oils
• At a density of 1.1 g/cc, less weight is needed
• Is effective at low dosages (5-10%)
LUXSIL® is acceptable for use globally
LUXSIL® adds lubricity
• To pressed powders, eye shadows, face creams
