Q1: What is the primary function of ECKART CAN 0600 Pigment in coating systems?
A: ECKART CAN 0600 is a high-performance aluminum effect pigment designed to deliver bright, metallic luster and excellent orientation in solvent-based and radiation-curable coil and can coatings. Its optimized particle morphology enhances reflectivity, gloss, and weather resistance while maintaining good flow and leveling behavior.
Q2: Is ECKART CAN 0600 suitable for water-based formulations?
A: While primarily developed for solvent-borne and UV-curable systems, CAN 0600 can be incorporated into water-based coatings with appropriate stabilization and dispersion protocols. However, performance—particularly metallic effect and storage stability—may vary, and compatibility testing under application-specific conditions is strongly recommended.
Q3: How should ECKART CAN 0600 be dispersed to achieve optimal metallic effect?
A: Optimal dispersion requires low-shear mixing to preserve flake integrity and avoid damaging the aluminum surface. Recommended methods include dissolver-type agitation or gentle stir-in followed by brief homogenization. Avoid high-speed media mills or ultrasonication, as these may degrade the pigment’s aspect ratio and reduce brightness.
Q4: Does ECKART CAN 0600 require surface treatment for corrosion protection in metal packaging applications?
A: Yes, CAN 0600 features a proprietary organic surface treatment that provides enhanced passivation against acid-induced corrosion—critical for food and beverage can linings. This treatment improves compatibility with common resin systems and contributes to long-term color stability under humid or elevated-temperature conditions.
Q5: What are typical dosage ranges for ECKART CAN 0600 in industrial coil and can coatings?
A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired visual effect, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to total solids—to achieve strong metallic appearance without compromising film integrity or processability.
