Q1: What is the primary functional benefit of SILTALLIC 8160 in coating systems?
A: SILTALLIC 8160 is a high-performance pearlescent pigment based on mica coated with titanium dioxide and iron oxide, delivering strong metallic luster, excellent lightfastness, and good weather resistance—particularly valued for decorative and protective coatings requiring visual impact with durability.
Q2: Is SILTALLIC 8160 suitable for water-based formulations?
A: Yes, SILTALLIC 8160 is surface-treated to ensure good compatibility and dispersion stability in both solvent-based and water-based systems, including acrylic, polyurethane, and alkyd dispersions—though optimal performance requires appropriate wetting and dispersing agents tailored to the specific medium.
Q3: How does SILTALLIC 8160 compare to conventional aluminum pigments in terms of corrosion risk?
A: Unlike metallic aluminum pigments, SILTALLIC 8160 is chemically inert and non-reactive—making it inherently non-corrosive and safe for use in systems where galvanic corrosion or pH sensitivity is a concern, such as in primers or coatings over sensitive substrates.
Q4: What are key handling considerations during incorporation into a formulation?
A: To preserve particle integrity and optical performance, avoid high-shear dispersion methods unless carefully optimized; gentle agitation and pre-wetting with compatible solvents or resins are recommended. Always follow Eckart’s technical bulletin for recommended dispersion protocols and compatibility testing.
