There is a great video demonstrating the dispersion analysis on an automated machine called TIDAS (made by Labman Automation). This analyses a grind gauge and makes the dispersion easy to see as it produces an image displaying all the particle data. It produces a rating automatically and removes the operator variation you often find between users in labs.

Please tell me how to dissolve mica powder for watery formula

Thank you fir your inquiry. Most micas can be dispersed in water but they don’t dissolve. They may settle to the bottom of the container upon standing, which is normal for micas.

What was the name of the wetting liquid .
@dianessalomon73658 жыл бұрын
In the description box they name the three different emollients that you can use. So you can use any of the three liquids they named.

Is this how you’d wet pigment prior to adding to a lipstick base ? Would a product with isododecane and acrylates / dimethicone copolymer be suitable for the wetting agent if used to make lipstick? Thank you for this helpful video. I’ve been wondering if I should put my pigment into a grinder first , but this process seems to make the grinder unnecessary. Is that correct? I just want a super smooth lipstick.

You can use emollients other than plant oils for wetting pigments including isododecane, acrylates or mineral oils. As for grinders, we recommend to use a food homogenizer (Hamilton makes good ones) for reducing the particle size of pigments. If possible buy one that has the motor not underneath the container but on the side. Pigments can easily clog the motor.

Is this Titanium Dioxide or Micronized Titanium Dioxide? Can titanium dioxide in oil work the same?

Very little oil (emollient) is required. Generally, the ratio between pigments and oil is about 4-6 : 1

What is the emollient for? Im planning on making a lip tint. Will this be ok to mix with water? I thought titanium oxide was sort of a “white” color oxide. I was thinking of mixing it with red oxide to get pink? Is that correct?

Oil is the better dispersing agent for pigments than water.
