Geocrystal®

Product Overview

Geocrystal® is a range of brilliantly coloured iridescent glitters cut from polyester film. This unique glitter is capable of refracting light in a rainbow of colours. Due to the transparency of Geocrystal®, this glitter provides different effects depending on the background colour that it is placed over, resulting in a huge combination of possible optical effects. GEOTECH offers 20 different types of iridescent glitter and the particle sizes range from 50 microns - 3 mm. These products are heat resistant up to around 80°C. A special solvent-resistant grade (Geocrystal® SR) is available for nail polishes and non-aqueous coating systems.

Geocrystal® is commonly used in the cosmetic industry as a colour flake. These pigments go into products such as nail polish, pressed powders, lipsticks and gel-based formulations. Compliance with cosmetic regulations is valid in the UK and IE. Applications are far reaching however and don't just include cosmetics. Geocrystal® has also been used in the toy industry for example, to provide that eye-catching sparkle. Other application areas include screen printing, PVC flooring, wallpapers and all manner of decorative coatings.
