COMPANY
OVERVIEW
Formica is an international technology group in the area of synthetic materials and one of the
world’s leading innovators in glass-ceramic materials for luxury markets.
For more than 20 years, Formica applies its unparalleled expertise in synthetic crystals, glass
science and nanotechnology, along with its deep manufacturing and engineering capabilities to
develop industry-defining products that transform markets.
Formica is the first in the world to introduce glass-ceramics to the jewelry industry and while
glass, synthetic crystals and ceramics have been available for along time, glass-ceramic imitation
gemstones are starting to make an impact among international jewelers and fashion brands as a
new mid-market offering.
MATERIAL
OVERVIEW
Glass-ceramics is a composite material constituted of crystals in a glassy matrix. This
combination between amorphous and crystalline states makes a new type of material with
unique properties. It is in a class of its own between glasses and polycrystalline ceramics.
More recently, Formica developed a new glass-ceramic composition that consists of amorphous
mass and nanometer-size (10-9m) crystalline particles homogeneously distributed throughout a
glass matrix. With special optical properties and practically no physical expansion over a wide
temperature range, this material is used in the manufacture of essential components for luxury
goods, such as gemstone imitations, watch glasses and dials.
Formerly known as Nanogem® and Nanocrystal®, the material has been rebranded as
Siamite®, the name that is composed of its three main chemical components: Si, Al and Mg.
SIAMITE® made by Formica is in line with security standards for toys, safe landfill and safe
textile products and with all of the regulations of REACH (EC) No 1907/2006 and in compliance
with EU RoHS. All of the potentially toxic elements measured are within permissible limits.
PRODUCT
PORTFOLIO
Siamite® Gemstone Reflections is a premium brand for precision-cut gemstone imitations
manufactured in a spectacular range of transparent, translucent and opaque colors, special
effects, shapes and sizes to use for jewelry and fashion accessories.
Siamite® Gemstone Reflections is currently offered in 500 color options and wide ranges of
saturation and shades, which allows to achieve consistent color within the product size range
from 0.8mm to 30.00mm.
Siamite® is recognized for its unique physical and optical properties, such as close to zero
thermal expansion and homogeneous composition which allows for even distribution of
color throughout the material. One of key features of Siamite is its ability to withstand high
temperatures. Siamite® only begins to melt or decompose at temperatures above 1,500°C,
offering exceptional stability, when being set in jewelry using lost-wax casting.
And with it’s hardness approximating that of a topaz or emerald, and optical properties close
to that of a tourmaline, Siamite® is an ideal gemstone imitation material eliminating common
drawbacks of synthetic crystal, lead or zirconium glass, such as color zoning, excessively high
refractive index and high cost.
