Introduction
In the world of pigments, size matters—a lot. The particle size of a pigment determines its coverage, dispersion, and even the perceived colour. At Neelikon, we understand how to control particle size to deliver optimal performance in every application.
Why Particle Size Matters
- Coverage & Opacity: Smaller particles can create smoother coverage but may reduce opacity.
- Brightness & Gloss: Ultra-fine particles reflect light differently, enhancing gloss in cosmetics or coatings.
- Dispersion: Larger particles may require more mixing energy to disperse evenly.
- Texture: In cosmetics, particle size impacts feel on the skin—important for foundations and powders.
Neelikon’s Expertise
We use advanced milling and classification technologies to produce pigments in controlled size ranges. Our R&D team tailors particle size to application needs, ensuring the perfect balance of appearance, performance, and stability.
Real-World Examples
- In lipstick, controlled particle size prevents a gritty feel.
- In confectionery coatings, it creates a smooth, even surface.
- In pharmaceuticals, it ensures uniform dosage and appearance.
The right particle size isn’t a guess—it’s precision science, and it’s what Neelikon delivers.
