Q1: What is the primary application field for METALLUX218?
A: METALLUX218 is a high-performance pearlescent pigment designed primarily for decorative and functional coatings in automotive refinish, industrial finishes, and premium plastic applications where exceptional metallic effect, brightness, and weather resistance are required.
Q2: Is METALLUX218 compatible with water-based systems?
A: Yes, METALLUX218 is engineered for broad compatibility, including aqueous dispersions and waterborne coating systems. It features surface treatments that support stable dispersion and reduced agglomeration in both water-based and solvent-based formulations.
Q3: How should METALLUX218 be dispersed to achieve optimal optical performance?
A: Optimal results are achieved using low-shear dispersion techniques—such as dissolver blades or rotor-stator mixers—to preserve flake integrity. Avoid high-energy milling or bead grinding, which may damage the delicate aluminum platelets and reduce luster and orientation control.
Q4: Does METALLUX218 require special storage conditions?
A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture or strong oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent humidity-induced oxidation and maintain dispersion stability over time.
