Products in Treated Pigments & Powders: Chromium Oxide Greens

Gelest Chromium Oxide Green TC (GIA-TCA) is a green powder treated with triethoxycaprylylsilane. This alkyl silane coating provides a very hydrophobic surface that increases the ease of particle dispersion in natural and synthetic fluids and helps stabilize particles in emulsion systems.

Gelest Chromium Oxide Green ML (GIA-MLA) is a chromium green powder treated with dimethicone PEG-3 laurate. This treatment allows for high pigment loading, water repellency, and low viscosity dispersion to maximize color intensity. It is used in various color cosmetic formulations.

Gelest Chromium Oxide Green SS (GIA-SSA) is a chromium-green powder treated with stearyl triethoxysilane. This hydrophobic treatment imparts the excellent wetting properties of the shorter-chain silanes with a more emollient skin feel in powders and dispersed systems. It is a pigment that is used in various color cosmetic formulations.

Gelest Chromium Oxide Green SR (GIA-SRA) is a green color powder treated with trimethylsiloxysilicate. The hydroxyl-terminated silsesquioxane network in the coating improves adhesion to skin and hair, making it ideal for use in color cosmetic formulations. This pigment is the best candidate for use in long-wearing and water-resistant makeup.

Gelest Chromium Oxide Green HS (GIA-HSA) is a chromium green powder treated with disodium carboxyethyl siliconate. This pigment is used in various color cosmetic formulations. It has a higher tinting strength and a reduced tendency for color flotation and plate-out.
