Applications

Cosmetic field:
Pearlescent material: Bismuth Chloride Oxide is often used as a pearlescent additive in cosmetics due to its good pearlescent effect and skin adhesion, and is used in the production of face powder, nail polish, eye shadow and other products, which can bring a unique visual effect and texture to cosmetics.
Beauty Flour: after refining and purification, it can be used in beauty flour, which is relatively safe for skin and can provide certain modifying effect.

Pigment field: Bismuth Chloride Oxide is a pigment with excellent performance, which can be used in paints, inks and other products to provide them with colour and covering power. For example, large quantities of Bismuth Chloride Pearlescent Paste can be used in coatings such as furniture paints.

Industrial manufacturing field:
Plastics industry: Bismuth Chloride Oxide can be used as an additive in plastics to improve the performance of plastics, such as increasing the gloss of plastics and improving the heat resistance of plastics.
Electronic industry: Bismuth Chloride Oxide is used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices such as CCDs (charge-coupled devices) or photodiodes; it can also be used in the manufacture of cathodes for dry batteries.
Metallurgical industry: In the smelting and purification process of certain metals, it can be used as an additive or catalyst to help improve the purity and quality of the metal.

Artificial material field: Bismuth Chloride Oxide can be used in the manufacture of artificial pearls, which can simulate the appearance and lustre of natural pearls, and is one of the important raw materials for artificial pearls.

Photocatalysis field: It has certain application potential in photocatalytic reaction, and can be used to degrade organic pollutants and so on.
