Silver Dollar aluminium pigments: more sustainable and higher quality paints

Monday, 13 June, 2022

Sustainability is an issue that is subject to daily discussion and, therefore, people are becoming more aware of it.

A large number of formulators, wanting to do their bit for the environment, are trying to develop new products that comply with sustainability regulations.

Would you like to see which aluminium pigments we are able to offer you that comply with these regulations?

Comindex distributes aluminium pigments from Metaflake. The manufacture of their products is not only environmentally friendly; they also have a number of products that comply with regulations, such as the Ecolabel.

Metaflake has a proprietary, innovative and environmentally friendly manufacturing method. The aluminium milling takes place directly in the aqueous medium. As a result, the aluminium pigments maintain excellent properties and do not contain residual solvents, VOCs or traces of odours.

Thanks to this, the Aqua-Brite SD and Aqua-Brite SD-WP product lines are ideal for formulating sustainable products.

As we have discussed in previous articles, these aluminium pigments – Silver Dollar type – present excellent properties such as high gloss (flip-flop effect), ease of dispersion and improved stability against the generation of gases in aqueous formulations.

In addition, we have various particle sizes, so that the most suitable product can be used according to the requirements of each formulation.

Some of the most common applications in aqueous coatings are as follows:
 

  • Decorative paints (high-end decoration)
  • Coatings on a plastic carrier
  • Paints for automotive parts

In summary, with the Silver Dollar type aluminium pigments from Comindex, you can formulate metallic finishes with excellent properties that comply with the Ecolabel regulation.
