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
• To emulsions and anhydrous systems
