    Aluminium pastes & pigments

    Aluminium pastes and pigments are materials used in various industries to create metallic effects and provide functional benefits. They consist of flake-shaped aluminium particles that are finely dispersed in a carrier, which can be either an organic solvent or water-based. These particles are produced through a milling process that manipulates their shape and size to achieve the desired aesthetic properties. Aluminium pastes and pigments are widely used in the automotive, printing, and decorative industries for their ability to provide a bright, reflective finish and enhance the durability and protective qualities of coatings.
