Water-based aluminum pigments
Details
Product Introduction
Water-based aluminum pigments, also known as water-based aluminum silver pastes, have developed alongside the promotion of water-based coatings. Metallic aluminum is a reactive amphoteric metal element, readily reacting with water, acids, and alkalis. Therefore, special surface treatment is necessary when applying it to water-based resin systems. This product is suitable for general industrial paints and automotive coatings, and is free of heavy metals, allowing for the control of nonylphenol, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, plasticizers, benzene compounds, etc.

1. Storage Stability Test (It is recommended to perform this test before using aluminum-silver paste)
Prepare 200 g of coating by mixing 1 part aluminum-silver paste with 9 parts water-based binder (pH = 5–9). Store the mixture in a sealed container at 40°C for 30 days or at 50°C for 7 days. After storage, observe any changes in overall performance and ensure that the amount of gas released does not exceed 10 ml.
Step 1: It is recommended to pre-disperse the aluminum paste in a co-solvent (one or more of ether, alcohol, or deionized water) at a ratio of 1:1.5 or 1:2. Adding a wetting and dispersing agent during pre-dispersion yields better results;
Step 2: Add the water-based resin and other additives to the dispersion tank according to the formulation ratios, and stir until uniform;
Step 3: While stirring, add the aluminum paste dispersion to the pre-dispersed water-based resin system. Stir at low speed (paddle-type mixing is recommended, with a speed controlled between 300–500 rpm) until uniform, ensuring complete dispersion to achieve the best possible pigment performance.
The unopened WA and WD series aluminum-silver pastes have a shelf life of 3 months. Once opened, they are prone to exposure to air; to prevent quality degradation, please use them as soon as possible. Long-term storage after paint formulation is not recommended. The unopened WH and WL series aluminum-silver pastes have a shelf life of 12 months. If the shelf life has expired, it is recommended to conduct a small-scale test before use. After paint formulation, storage should not exceed 5 months.
Avoid direct sunlight and keep away from open flames, water, and corrosive substances. Store at a temperature not exceeding 25°C.
Humidity should not exceed 60%. Seal the container promptly after removing the product.
The testing methods and storage periods listed above are reference data obtained by our company based on customer feedback and internal experiments, and are provided for customer reference only. Due to differences in systems, formulations, and usage environments, customers are advised to conduct thorough testing before use to prevent unnecessary financial losses.
