Q1: What is the primary function of ECKART SILTALLIC 8180 in coating and ink systems?
A: ECKART SILTALLIC 8180 is a high-performance pearlescent pigment based on synthetic mica coated with titanium dioxide. It delivers strong chromatic brilliance, excellent lightfastness, and a smooth, satin-to-metallic visual effect—particularly valued in decorative coatings, automotive refinishes, and premium packaging inks.
Q2: Is ECKART SILTALLIC 8180 compatible with water-based formulations?
A: Yes, SILTALLIC 8180 is surface-treated to ensure good dispersibility and stability in both solvent-borne and water-based systems. However, optimal performance requires proper wetting, controlled shear during dispersion, and compatibility testing with specific resin chemistries and additives.
Q3: How does SILTALLIC 8180 differ from conventional aluminum or bronze pigments?
A: Unlike metallic pigments based on aluminum or copper alloys, SILTALLIC 8180 offers superior chemical resistance, non-reactivity with acidic or alkaline media, and no risk of hydrogen gas evolution. Its synthetic mica substrate provides consistent particle geometry, enabling more predictable orientation and higher optical clarity in transparent films.
Q4: What are key handling and storage recommendations for this pigment?
A: Store in original sealed packaging under dry, cool conditions, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid exposure to high humidity prior to use, as prolonged dampness may affect dispersibility. Always pre-mix with a suitable carrier or dispersing agent before incorporating into the final formulation.
