Classification of sunflower chemical aluminum pigments
What is aluminum pigment? With the changes in life, more and more aluminum pigment products have begun to enter people's lives. Whether it's paint or paint on furniture. People's understanding of aluminum pigments is getting deeper and deeper. So, what is aluminum pigment?
What is aluminum pigment? Before answering this question, let us first understand the basic classification of aluminum pigments. Aluminum pigments are metallic pigments and are usually used as fillers in paints and coatings. Because of their good performance, they can basically protect products and decorate products. Aluminum pigments are mainly divided into the following three types of products:
1. Aluminum paste, using aluminum powder as the raw material, through a special process of ball milling, the surface of the aluminum sheet in the aluminum paste is smooth, regular in shape, and concentrated in particle size distribution, so as to make a paste or paste product. Aluminum pastes are mainly divided into water-based aluminum pastes and solvent-based aluminum pastes according to their performance. Among the solvent-based aluminum pastes, leafing and non-leafing aluminum pastes are more common. They are generally used in paints, inks, glass fibers, automotive coatings, etc. Industry; water-based aluminum paste is used in water-based environmental protection materials industry, such as water-based epoxy paint, water-based paint and other related coating industries.
2. Aluminum pigment powder. The pigment used in aluminum pigment powder is usually in the shape of flakes. It is precisely because of the particles of this flake shape that the aluminum pigment powder has metallic luster and good shielding function. The aluminum pigment powder produced by our sunflower chemical industry usually adopts wet ball milling and re-coating process, which has the characteristics of high solid content, stable quality, and excellent weather resistance. Generally used in powder coatings, outdoor decoration products, plastic color masterbatches and some ink products.
3. Aluminum Granules, aluminum granules are divided into two series, which are dedicated for the plastic industry and dedicated for the ink industry. By removing the excess solvent on the surface of the aluminum paste, adding specific additives, and finally squeezing, it becomes a cylinder with a diameter of 2mm and a length of 8-10mm. The appearance of aluminum granules is basically a solid strip shape, which is environmentally friendly, safe and easy to disperse, and can be stored for a long time. It is mainly used in ink, printing, home appliances, car interiors, mobile phone shells, films, profiles, and masterbatch industries.
