Pearlescent Grade Violet Edible Dust F1103A for Cake Decorating

F1103A belongs to Kolortek's Edible Glitter Series — a food-grade line of pearlescent dusts built on mica substrates. The violet variant sits within a particle size range of 10–60μm, giving it a fine, smooth texture that disperses evenly on both dry and wet food surfaces without clumping or streaking.

The series covers a broad color palette, including gold, silver, bronze, and a range of additional shades. This makes cross-color blending practical for studios that need custom tones or gradient effects across a product line.

Worth noting: Titanium Dioxide Free variants are available for formulators or buyers operating under clean-label or regulatory environments where TiO₂ is restricted or discouraged.

Additional colors in the series — including gold, silver, and bronze — are available on request. Contact contact@kolortek.com for full color card or custom shade matching.

Applications

F1103A is suitable across a wide range of food and confectionery contexts:

• Cake and dessert surface decoration — dry brush, petal dust technique, or airbrushed in suspension
• Cocktails and specialty beverages — suspended in clear or lightly colored liquids for shimmer-in-drink effects
• Chocolate coatings and molded pieces
• Cookie and macaron surfaces
• Ice cream, cake pops, fruit glazes
• Sprinkle blends and sugar decorations

In practice, the most common application method in confectionery is dry-brush application directly onto fondant, ganache, or buttercream. For more intense coverage, mixing with a food-safe alcohol carrier (such as Everclear or isopropyl food grade) produces a paintable suspension that deposits color more densely and dries quickly.

Key Characteristics

• Pearlescent shimmer effect: Delivers a layered, light-reflective finish characteristic of mica-based pearl pigments — not a flat matte or single-angle sparkle.
• Food safety compliance: Meets international food safety standards; supported documentation includes MSDS, TDS, and COA.
• Blend compatibility: Mixes seamlessly with other food-grade colorings. Useful for studios developing house blends or transitional color systems.
• Stability: Consistent batch-to-batch performance — a practical requirement for commercial bakeries or confectionery manufacturers running repeat production runs.
• Natural ingredient base: Derived from natural mica; TiO₂-free options available.
• Certification support: Kosher certified; backed by ISO 9001 manufacturing quality controls.

Practical Considerations

Storage is straightforward — keep sealed, dry, and away from direct moisture or humidity. Mica-based dusts are hygroscopic enough that repeated exposure to humid environments can cause clumping, which affects dustability and even dispersion.

For liquid suspension applications (drinks, glazes), F1103A should be pre-dispersed in the carrier before adding to the base. Direct addition into high-viscosity systems without pre-dispersion tends to produce uneven distribution.

That said, the 10–60μm range gives this product good versatility — fine enough for smooth surface work, coarse enough to register visible shimmer at typical decoration distances. Formulators needing a finer particle cut for airbrushing applications should confirm specification requirements before ordering.

Blending F1103A with gold or silver variants from the same series is a reliable way to shift warmth or create custom metallic-pearl tones without sourcing separate base pigments.

FAQ

Q: Is F1103A approved for direct food contact?
Yes. F1103A is made from natural, food-safe ingredients and is fully compliant with international food safety standards. It is Kosher certified and supported by SGS, TÜV SÜD, REACH, and ISO documentation. COA is available per batch on request.

Q: Can this be used in beverages or only on solid food surfaces?
It can be used in both. In beverages, it works best when pre-dispersed in a small amount of the liquid before full incorporation. Suspension stability in low-viscosity drinks varies — testing at intended concentration and temperature is recommended before production use.

Q: Is a Titanium Dioxide Free version available?
Yes. Kolortek offers TiO₂-free formulations in the Edible Glitter Series for buyers operating under label restrictions or regulatory frameworks that limit TiO₂ in food products. Specify at the time of inquiry.

Q: What documentation is available for quality and compliance verification?
MSDS, TDS, and COA are standard. Formulation guidelines can also be provided. For specific regional compliance requirements, reach out directly at contact@kolortek.com.
