Q1: What is the primary application field for ECKART METALLIC 801 Pigment?
A: ECKART METALLIC 801 is a high-performance aluminum effect pigment designed primarily for solvent-based and radiation-curable industrial coatings, including automotive refinish, general industrial finishes, and decorative plastic coatings where strong metallic brilliance and excellent orientation are required.
Q2: Is ECKART METALLIC 801 compatible with water-based systems?
A: While ECKART METALLIC 801 is optimized for solvent-borne and UV-curable formulations, it can be incorporated into select water-based systems with appropriate surface treatment and dispersion protocols. However, performance—especially in terms of stability, orientation, and corrosion resistance—may vary significantly depending on pH, ionic strength, and formulation additives; compatibility testing under actual processing conditions is strongly recommended.
Q3: How should ECKART METALLIC 801 be dispersed to achieve optimal metallic effect?
A: Optimal dispersion requires low-shear mixing to preserve flake integrity and ensure uniform orientation. Avoid high-speed dissolvers or ball mills that may damage the aluminum platelets. Pre-wetting with compatible solvents and gradual incorporation into the binder phase—followed by gentle agitation—is recommended. Final viscosity and rheology control also play a key role in achieving consistent flash and flop behavior.
Q4: Does ECKART METALLIC 801 require special handling or storage precautions?
A: Yes. As a fine metallic powder, it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from ignition sources and oxidizing agents. Containers must remain tightly sealed to prevent moisture uptake and oxidation. When handling, use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including dust masks and static-dissipative gear, especially during transfer or dispersion operations.
