Question
Does the Fluorescent Yellow Pigment settle or precipitate in the formula, and if so, what measures should be taken to ensure it remains evenly dispersed?
Answer
Yes, the Fluorescent Yellow Pigment is a pigment powder that is not soluble and cannot dissolve in the formula. It is designed to be dispersed (spread) in the product.
Because it is a non-dissolving powder, it will naturally settle or precipitate (sediment) over time.
To prevent settling and keep the pigment evenly distributed, you must use a suitable suspending agent (e.g., thickeners or gums like Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, or specific suspending polymers) in your formulation.
