Gold Edible Glitter, Food Safe Mica Powder 10–60μm – F1101A
Gold edible glitter F1101A creates a visible metallic shimmer in confectionery coatings, beverage surfaces, and decorative finishes where visual impact must be achieved without affecting taste or texture. The 10–60 μm particle range supports smooth dispersion and controlled reflectivity, making it suitable for applications requiring uniform surface coverage rather than coarse sparkle.

Pearlescent effect is generated through light interference on mica-based platelets coated with food-approved minerals. Reflection intensity depends on platelet orientation, particle size distribution, and surface smoothness rather than pigment solubility.
F1101A is designed for applications where a controlled sheen is required. Compared to larger particle edible glitter grades, this range reduces sedimentation in liquids and improves adhesion on semi-dry food surfaces such as fondant or chocolate coatings.

10–60 μm grades provide a satin-like shimmer with relatively uniform coverage. They are typically selected for spray applications, beverage decoration, and fine surface dusting where coarse particles would settle quickly or create uneven visual distribution.
Larger particle grades (e.g., >100 μm) increase sparkle intensity but introduce sedimentation and texture visibility. Selection should be based on whether the formulation prioritizes dispersion stability or visual reflectivity.
| Industry | Application | Technical Consideration |
| Bakery & Confectionery | Fondant, chocolate coating, cake decoration | Adhesion depends on surface moisture or fat layer |
| Beverages | Cocktails, sparkling drinks | Lower particle size reduces settling rate |
| Frozen Desserts | Ice cream surface decoration | Apply post-freezing to maintain visibility |
| Snack & Specialty Foods | Coated nuts, fruit glazing | Requires binding medium for uniform coverage |

Choosing coarse glitter for liquid applications often leads to rapid sedimentation and uneven visual distribution. For beverages or low-viscosity systems, finer grades such as 10–60 μm provide more stable suspension, although full suspension depends on formulation viscosity and agitation.
Edible mica-based pigments are chemically inert and do not dissolve. Visual performance depends on physical dispersion and surface positioning. They are compatible with water-based and fat-based systems, but uniformity requires appropriate mixing or surface application methods.
Kolortek maintains production control on particle size distribution and coating consistency, which directly affects reflectivity and batch reproducibility. Technical documentation including TDS, SDS, and ingredient data is available for regulatory review. Custom particle size ranges can be evaluated based on application requirements.

Particle size selection and application method influence final visual performance. Samples can be provided based on your specific use case, along with supporting technical data and ingredient documentation.
Testing under actual processing conditions is recommended to confirm dispersion behavior and visual outcome.
