Product Overview
Aluminium pigments are used to create metallic finishes and decorative effects in industrial coatings, paints, printing inks and plastics. The suitable grade depends on the required appearance, particle size, application method and formulation system.
Our range includes aluminium pigment powder and paste grades for different industrial requirements.
Available Grades and Types
1. Leafing Aluminium Pigment Powder
Available in grades 60, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, with typical D50 particle sizes ranging from 60 µm to 10 µm.
2. Leafing Aluminium Pigment Paste
An 80% non-volatile paste supplied in paraffin oil or medicinal white oil, intended for plastic masterbatch applications.
3. Leafing Aluminium Paste
A 65% minimum non-volatile paste in mineral spirit, available in grades 10L to 40L for metallic-effect and protective coating applications.
4. Non-Leafing Aluminium Paste
A 65% minimum non-volatile paste for hammertone finishes, primers, industrial coatings and other metallic-effect applications. Available grades include 10NL, 12NL, 30NL and 35NL.
Applications of Aluminium Pigments

Grade Selection Guide
For plastic masterbatches: Consider aluminium pigment powder or leafing pigment paste grades designed for masterbatch applications.
For chrome-finish and reflective coatings: Consider suitable leafing powder or leafing paste grades according to the required finish and coating system.
For hammertone and metallic finishes: Consider non-leafing aluminium paste grades.
For printing inks and fine finishes: Select a grade based on particle size, printing method and formulation compatibility.
Our team can help identify a suitable grade based on your application, required finish and processing conditions.
