Q1: What is the primary application field for METALLUX618 pigment?
A: METALLUX618 is a high-performance metallic effect pigment designed primarily for solvent-based and radiation-curable coatings used in premium industrial and decorative applications—such as automotive refinish, high-end plastic parts, and luxury packaging—where exceptional brightness, flip-flop effect, and dispersion stability are required.
Q2: Is METALLUX618 compatible with water-based systems?
A: METALLUX618 is optimized for non-aqueous systems. While it can be adapted to certain water-based formulations using appropriate surfactants or pre-dispersion techniques, performance—including orientation, gloss, and stability—may vary significantly. We recommend conducting compatibility and stability testing under actual formulation conditions before full-scale use.
Q3: How should METALLUX618 be incorporated into a coating formulation?
A: For optimal results, METALLUX618 should be added during the let-down stage using low-shear mixing to preserve flake integrity. Pre-wetting with compatible solvents or resins is recommended. Avoid high-speed dispersers or ball mills that may damage the aluminum flakes and reduce optical performance.
Q4: Does METALLUX618 require special storage conditions?
A: Yes. Store METALLUX618 in its original sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ignition hazards. Exposure to moisture or prolonged air contact may affect dispersion behavior and long-term stability. Once opened, minimize exposure to ambient humidity and use within the recommended shelf-life period under controlled conditions.
