Importance of Leafing Aluminum Paste in the Coatings Industry

Leafing aluminum paste plays a vital role in the coatings industry, adding unique value to various coating products with its unique gloss effect and excellent performance. Its application in automotive, architectural and industrial coatings not only enhances the visual effect, but also improves the durability and performance of the coating. Gloss and decorative effectsLeafing aluminum paste is mainly composed of tiny aluminum powder particles, which exist in the coating in a floating state, thus forming a high-gloss metall...

Why passivation is important for aluminum pigments

Passivation is a process whereby a metal is treated or coated to reduce its surface chemical reactivity. A “passive” substrate is less susceptible to environmental impact or corrosion than other substrates. During the passivation process, the substrate chemically reacts to form an outer layer of protective material. Passivation is widely used in many industries, but is particularly prevalent in the automotive industry. In the automotive industry, aluminum pigments are used in coatings to improve the appearance of the vehic...

What indicators should be paid attention to in water-based aluminum paste?

What indicators should be paid attention to in water-based aluminum paste? As more and more customers begin to accelerate the process of oil-to-water conversion, water-based aluminum paste has become the choice of many customers. However, since many customers have just started to contact, many related performance indicators are not very clear, which will lead to customers only emphasizing that they need to find water-based aluminum paste in the process of looking for water-based aluminum paste, but they cannot accurately express w...

What properties does an excellent water-based aluminum paste have?

What properties does an excellent water-based aluminum paste have? I believe that every user has his own set of screening methods for choosing water-based aluminum paste. There is no right or wrong, because each customer's needs are different and the standards of selection are naturally different. As the saying goes, the best is the one that suits you. This is the truth. Today, let's put aside the specific application scenarios. Let's talk about the properties of excellent water-based aluminum paste based on the performance...

The effect of moisture on aluminum paste

The main components of aluminum paste are energy flakes, solvents and additives. Although a layer of additives will be coated on the surface of the flakes during the grinding process of aluminum paste, due to the high activity of aluminum itself, if too much moisture is mixed into the production process of aluminum paste, it will still have a great impact on the storage performance, color performance and safety of the lead silver paste. Under normal circumstances, the aluminum flakes in the silver paste maintain a high act...

What is the difference between leafing aluminum paste and non-leafing aluminum paste?

Basic Concepts of aluminum paste is divided into two categories: leafing and non-leafing. In the grinding process, the replacement of one fatty acid by another will give the aluminum pigment completely different properties and appearance. Because the appearance of each type of aluminum flake is different from that of the other types, the technical parameters that affect the product application formula and end use will also change according to the desired effect. Leafing aluminum paste: In leafing aluminum pigments, aluminum flakes...
