With a focus on sustainability and vibrant color performance, ROELMI HPC unveils advanced pigment solutions designed to meet the evolving demands of manufacturers worldwide. The company’s portfolio includes ester-coated pigments (ColorGLAM®) and pigments suspended in esters (ColorEST®), engineered for superior color release, heat stability, and regulatory compliance.
ColorGLAM®, the Evolution of Coated Pigments
ColorGLAM® embodies the perfect balance between performance and circular economy principles. These free-flowing pigments are functionalized with Tripelargonin, an ultra-lightweight, sustainable ester derived from green chemistry technology of a controlled EU supply chain. This strategic choice reflects ROELMI HPC’s vision of combining technical excellence with environmental responsibility, offering formulators a solution that enhances both product quality and sustainability credentials. Tests demonstrate that this Pelargonic Acid-derived ester serves as a high-performance solution for pigment coating, offering a unique synergy of technical efficiency and sensory refinement. Its medium polarity provides the ideal chemical environment to bridge the gap between the pigment surface and the cosmetic matrix. Furthermore, its exceptional wetting ability ensures efficient pigment stabilization and prevents agglomeration. Combined with a balanced spreading profile, the ester optimizes color development while delivering a sophisticated, lightweight skin feel.
ColorEST®, High-Performance Pigment Dispersions
ColorEST® ingredients are liquid dispersed pigments via an upcyled ester medium from non-edible olive fractions. Tests demonstrate that Triolein and Glyceryl Dioleate exhibit excellent wetting capabilities, serving as clear indicators of their efficiency in air displacement and particle surface coverage. Consequently, these esters ensure an optimal dispersion degree and enable the incorporation of high pigment loads without compromising the stability or rheology of the system. These results highlight their potential to create highly concentrated color bases with reduced viscosity and improved homogeneity. The true competitive advantage of these upcycled esters lies in their ability to harmonize technical excellence with ethical innovation. By optimizing wetting efficiency and pigment loading, they streamline manufacturing processes and enhance color intensity. Simultaneously, their balanced viscosity ensures a sophisticated sensory profile, meeting modern consumer demands for lightweight textures. Ultimately, their upcycled origin transforms these high-performance attributes into a sustainable solution, allowing brands to deliver premium, professional-grade dispersions within a circular economy framework.
The Reason behind the Choice of Sustainable Esters
The decision to utilize the eco-designed esters in pigment development is rooted in performance science. Testing demonstrates that those sustainable esters provide a highly effective pigment-coating/ -dispersion system, creating a unique synergy between technical efficiency and refined sensory properties.
The surface treament promotes efficient pigment stabilization and prevents agglomeration, an essential factor in achieving consistent, vibrant color payoff.
The added value of ColorGLAM® and ColorEST® lies in their ability in simplifying the formulation process. With ColorGLAM® and ColorEST®, ROELMI HPC demonstrates that technical performance and sustainability can coexist harmoniously. By merging advanced material engineering with circular economy principles, the company sets a new benchmark for responsible beauty—where performance, safety, and environmental awareness converge to shape the future of cosmetic color.
