ECKART METALLUX612 Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for METALLUX612 pigment?

A: METALLUX612 is a high-performance aluminum effect pigment designed primarily for solvent-based and UV-curable industrial coatings, including automotive refinish, plastic parts finishing, and premium decorative applications where strong metallic brilliance and excellent orientation are required.


Q2: Is METALLUX612 compatible with water-based systems?

A: METALLUX612 is optimized for non-aqueous media. While it may be incorporated into some water-based formulations using appropriate dispersants and stabilization strategies, performance—especially in terms of leafing behavior and stability—cannot be guaranteed without thorough formulation testing and process adaptation.


Q3: How should METALLUX612 be dispersed to achieve optimal metallic effect?

A: For best results, use low-shear dispersion techniques—such as dissolver blades or planetary mixers—with controlled addition rates. Avoid high-shear equipment like three-roll mills or bead mills, which can damage the delicate flake structure and reduce luster and coverage.


Q4: Does METALLUX612 require special storage conditions?

A: Yes. Store in original sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation, which may affect dispersion stability and optical performance.
