< PRODUCT > IRON OXIDE-COATED MICA ADMOLITE


*ADMOLITE IM Serise
 These color ingredients are made by applying our unique wet
 technology to coat and fix iron oxides on the surface of mica.

 ADOMOLITEs exhibit characteristics distinct from normal iron
 oxide pigments due to their micron-sized color materials.
 ・Increases of taking amount, Control of caking
 ・High dispersibility
 ・Distinctive color payoff (high color saturation, 3D effect)
 ・Reduces drying time in wet molding

<Color Properties①>
 Higher color saturation than normal iron oxide pigments


Left : Mixed Powder, Right: ADMOLITE


<Dispersing property into a water>
 Hard to get clumpy, Excellent dispersibility


Left : Normal iron oxide, Right: ADMOLITE
<Color Properties②>
Using normal iron oxide and ADMOLITE, we
prepared water foundations with matching
appearance colors. When applied in equal
amounts to hemispheres, the foundation using
ADMOLITE appeared more saturated.
Surface observation with a skin scope confirmed
the presence of scattered ADMOLITE particles.
This scattering of large particles prevents color
cloudiness and enhances color saturation.
