What are some of the optical properties aluminum flake paste can provide?There a number of characteristics that pigment slurries can provide, including:Color ShadeBrilliance (Sparkle and Metallic gloss)BrightnessFlopColor SaturationTinting strength (hiding power)DOI (Distinctness of Image)

For plastics applications high boiling oils are used as liquid component. It has to be solvent- and water-free. It is also important that the oil does not migrate to the surface. Another criterion is, the pasting agent must have food approval. Many plastics applications are for the packaging industr

In the printing industry, aluminum pastes are used depending on the respective printing process and chemistry.For solvent-based printing applications in flexographic or gravure printing, solvents with a low boiling point such as ethyl acetate are preferably used in the aluminum paste in order to ens

The reason dry pigments are not typically used is for safety and easy handling. Aluminum flake and dust are referred to as fines. These airborne fines can quickly spread heat when ignited. If exposed to electricity, phenomena known as arch flash will occur.The very dust used intentionally to aid roc
