Borosilicate pearl pigment uses synthetic Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate (C.A.B.) glass flakes as the substrate, coated with titanium dioxide and metal oxides to create silver-white, gold, red, violet, blue and green interference effects.

Packaging complies with Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) - verified by SGS testing. Contact us for a copy of the report.
Compared with natural mica, C.A.B. glass flakes are smoother, flatter and more transparent. Coatings built on them show higher color chroma, brighter luster and a deeper, diamond-like sparkle at the same loading — which is why our Diamond Series is especially suitable for cosmetics.
Two series are built on C.A.B.: the Diamond Series (EP8001–EP8006 50–250 µm; EP8011–EP8016 30–100 µm; EP8249 High-Purity Interference Gold 30–120 µm; EP8800 Ultra Sparkle Diamond White 500–1000 µm) and the Chromapura Series (EP88031–EP88036 Sparkling Silver/Gold/Red/Violet/Blue/Green, 30–100 µm), the latter suited to spray-free applications, automotive films, masterbatch and decorative industries.
Industrial-grade pearl pigments formulated for high-performance coating, plastic and printing processes.
Cosmetics, automotive films and coatings, plastics and masterbatch, printing inks and decorative finishes.
C.A.B. is the substrate of our Diamond Series and Chromapura Series pearl pigments. This page brings both together for buyers searching directly for borosilicate pigment or glass-flake pearl pigment; the two series pages remain the reference for full color charts.
C.A.B. stands for Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate — a synthetic glass flake used as the substrate for premium pearl pigments. It is coated with titanium dioxide and metal oxides to create interference colors.
C.A.B. glass flakes are smoother, flatter and more transparent than natural mica, so the same coating delivers higher chroma, brighter luster and a deeper diamond-like sparkle. Natural mica remains a cost-effective choice for standard effects.
Our Diamond Series on C.A.B. is especially suitable for cosmetic applications and is produced under GMP. We provide TDS/SDS and grade-specific compliance documents on request; final formula compliance follows your regional cosmetic regulations.
30–100 µm and 50–250 µm interference grades, 30–120 µm High-Purity Interference Gold, and a 500–1000 µm Ultra Sparkle Diamond White, in silver-white, gold, red, violet, blue and green.
Stock items start at 1kg per item. Free 5–10g samples ship in about 3 working days so you can evaluate sparkle and interference color in your own system.
