2014 Shan Dong Leafing Aluminum Paste for Industrial Paints

Specifications

Company profile :

  Kingstyle Metal Pigments Sciences & Technology Co., Ltd was founded in 1980 and reformed in 2007, located in the north of Ji Nan City, Shan Dong Province of China. We are the professional production base of aluminum paste. The company covers over 20000 square meters and our annual output reaches more than 5000 tons. We own a professional technical team engaged in numerous years of research, development and production of aluminum paste and perfect examine devices as well as strict quality control system. The products have independent intellectual property rights, and its production technology is close to the leading level of the industry. The products have gained widespread recognition and compliment of customers and have been widely used in replace of imported products.

   The aluminum paste and powder produced in the company can be widely used in motor vehicles and their accessories, marine paints, bicycles paints, concrete block, industry paint, roof coatings, coil coating, ink and etc.

What is aluminium paste ?

  Aluminum pastes, a kind of metallic pigments, is formed by a great amount of tiny aluminum flakes. It is often used in dope, printing ink, and plastics. When used with other paints, special effect may appear. The particle diameter of aluminum pastes is larger than that of color pigments. While the particle size of color pigments is in the wavelength range of visible light, the flake diameter of special effect pigments is generally around 5-45μm.

1.What are the usual storage stabilities for aluminium pigment pastes?

Product / Product group - Shelf life 
  
Kingstyle Aluminium Paste leafing - 12 months 
Kingstyle Aluminium Paste non-leafing - 12 months  
Kingstyle Aluminium Powder  - 6 months 

2.When using leafing aluminium pigments, I only achieve poor leafing/flotation properties, or the flotation of the aluminium pigments rapidly deteriorates significantly.

When using leafing aluminium pigments, non-polar solvents and binders should always be used (e.g. white spirit, solvent naphtha, toluene, xylene or hydrocarbon resins). All binders used should have as low as possible an acidic value (guide value: acid index < 10 mg KOH/g). and should not contain any functional groups. Any moisture in drums or in solvents should be avoided; this is particularly important during production.

3.White or yellow flakes have formed on my leafing paste in the drum.

If not stored under optimum conditions or because of temperature oscillation during transport, lubricant from the manufacturing process may collect on the surface of the paste and subsequently "cristallize" at lower temperatures. In this case, the best thing to do is to use the complete drum

4.What is the recommended degree of pigmentation in aluminium pigments?

In general the pigmentation rate is between 5% and 15% aluminium acc. to the complete formulation. However, this depends greatly on the particle size distribution of the product, on the coating parameters and the requested effect. The coarser the product, the greater the pigmentation required in order, for example, to achieve the desired coverage at the same layer thickness.

Storage :

Perform storage in conformity with national, state, and local law and regulations. (Also see MSDS)

For leafing grades, in the event of stearic acid separation (apparent as whitish powder or grain) heat the AKALP to 30 °C–45°C in its container without exposure to any direct flame or ignition source and then mix well to ensure a uniform dispersion before use. In such cases, particular caution is necessary in opening any container due to the possibility of solvent vapor formation as a result of the heating.
