Aluminium Paste

Aluminium Paste is an aluminium pigment in paste from made from high-purity aluminium as the raw material. To produce it, aluminium powder or foil is fed into the ballmill in which mineral spirit and stearic acid or oleic are added, pulverized and ground to produce fine aluminium grains of extremely thin flake form.

Aluminiu paste using this pigment possesses the following excellent features :

• A number of aluminium flake layers are built up inside the paint varnish, which shut off gas, moisture and light beams, and result in the long lasting protection of painted, structures. Use of the Aluminium Paste results in less repainting, as it exhibits excellent weather resistant characteristics, when compared with conventional paints.
• As the painted surface is covered with minute flake Layer, it tends to effectively reflect thermal waves and light beams(total reflectivity rate is 75~80%)
• In addition, it is economical, exhibits complete sealing, is lightweight, and is not hazardous in handling.
