ECKART DOROLAN 10/0 Metallic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary particle morphology and visual effect of DOROLAN 10/0?

A: DOROLAN 10/0 is a spherical aluminum pigment with a fine particle size distribution, delivering high brightness, excellent leveling, and a smooth, uniform metallic sheen—particularly suited for demanding decorative and functional coatings where optical consistency is critical.


Q2: Is DOROLAN 10/0 suitable for water-based systems?

A: Yes, DOROLAN 10/0 is surface-treated for enhanced compatibility and stability in both solvent-borne and water-based formulations, including acrylic and polyurethane dispersions—though optimal dispersion requires appropriate wetting agents and controlled mixing conditions.


Q3: How does DOROLAN 10/0 differ from flake-type aluminum pigments in terms of orientation and application behavior?

A: Unlike conventional leafing or non-leafing flakes, the spherical morphology of DOROLAN 10/0 minimizes orientation dependency during film formation—resulting in more isotropic reflectivity, reduced mottling, and improved reproducibility in spray, roller, and curtain-coating processes.


Q4: What are key handling precautions during formulation and storage?

A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. During handling, avoid excessive mechanical shear or high-speed dispersion that may compromise particle integrity; use low-shear mixing initially and follow ECKART’s recommended dispersion protocols to preserve optical performance.
