Shimmer Pearl Edible Glitter, Coarse 40–200μm for Cakes – F163
Shimmer pearl edible glitter F163 is designed for surface decoration where visible particle definition and high reflectivity are required. The 40–200 μm particle range produces a distinct sparkle effect on cakes, chocolate coatings, and confectionery finishes, with minimal loss of visual intensity after application.

F163 sits in the coarse particle segment of Kolortek’s edible glitter series. It is selected when visual sparkle must be clearly distinguishable rather than forming a uniform sheen. Compared with fine grades, it prioritizes light reflection intensity over dispersion stability in liquid systems.
| Parameter | Value / Description |
| Model | F163 |
| Color Effect | Shimmer pearl |
| Particle Size | 40–200 μm (coarse grade) |
| Substrate | Mica-based pearlescent pigment |
| Solubility | Insoluble, physical dispersion only |
| Functional Mechanism | Light reflection from platelet structure |
| Regulatory Status | Food-contact compliant (region-dependent) |
Coarse particle size provides strong specular reflection, making F163 suitable for decorative applications where individual particles must remain visible. Typical use involves dry dusting or surface placement rather than full incorporation into the food matrix.
| Industry | Application | Technical Rationale |
| Bakery | Cake surface decoration, fondant finishes | Coarse particles enhance sparkle visibility on dry surfaces |
| Chocolate | Molded chocolate, coating layers | Applied post-tempering to maintain surface reflectivity |
| Decorative Foods | Cookies, cake pops, sugar decorations | Requires binder (syrup or fat layer) for adhesion |
| Frozen Desserts | Ice cream topping | Surface application preserves particle integrity |
Particle Visibility: 40–200 μm particles remain visually distinct. Fine grades should be selected if a smooth sheen is required instead of sparkle.
Dispersion Behavior: Coarse particles settle rapidly in low-viscosity liquids. Use in beverages is limited to short-term visual effects or requires agitation.
Application Method: Best performance is achieved through surface dusting or spraying with a carrier. Full incorporation into dough or batter reduces visible effect.
Color Perception: Pearl effect depends on background contrast. Dark substrates increase visibility, while light substrates emphasize reflection.
Kolortek maintains controlled particle size distribution and coating uniformity to ensure repeatable optical performance. Over 20 years of production experience supports batch-to-batch consistency required for large-scale food manufacturing. Technical documentation (TDS, SDS, ingredient data) is available for regulatory and formulation review.
Selection of particle size and application method should be validated under actual production conditions. Samples and supporting documentation can be provided based on your process requirements.
