The demand for ultra-bright metallic finishes is rising across automotive, packaging, consumer electronics, and decorative coatings. Mirror effect aluminium paste—also called VMP aluminium paste—offers a chrome-like appearance unmatched by conventional metallic pigments.
Mirror effect aluminium paste is produced through vacuum metallization, forming ultra-thin aluminium flakes with a leafing structure.
These flakes deliver exceptionally high reflectance (often exceeding 60–65% total reflectivity, according to industry measurement methods such as JIS Z8722), allowing coatings to achieve a mirror-like surface.
Chrome-like metallic gloss
Smooth, continuous mirror film
Excellent hiding force
Strong flake alignment and orientation
High purity and low impurities
Silver Rocket’s manufacturing process ensures narrow particle distribution and high surface uniformity, delivering consistent results across batches.
VMP aluminium flakes are significantly thinner—typically 30–80 nm—than standard aluminium pigment flakes.
This thinness boosts light reflectivity and improves metallic sharpness, resulting in a vivid mirror effect.
Silver Rocket’s mirror effect aluminium paste is made from high-purity aluminium with a uniform silver-dollar morphology.
This ensures:
Smooth edges
Enhanced light reflectance
Better alignment during coating application
The paste forms a tightly packed metallic layer at the surface of the coating film.
This structure creates:
High gloss
Mirror-like appearance
Strong weather resistance
Mirror effect aluminium paste is widely used in:
Automotive refinish coatings
Consumer electronics casings
Luxury packaging (cosmetics, personal care, premium goods)
Plastic coatings
Silk-screen and gravure inks
Decorative finishes
| Property | Standard Aluminium Paste | Mirror Effect Aluminium Paste |

| Reflectivity | 30–40% | Up to 65%+ |
| Smoothness | Moderate | Excellent mirror uniformity |
| Hiding Power | High | Very high |
| Orientation | Good | Superior |
Industry data from the global metallic pigment market (ResearchAndMarkets 2024) shows mirror-effect pigments growing at 9.8% CAGR, driven by luxury packaging and EV automotive trim—highlighting rising global demand.
Silver Rocket’s in-house tests further show that VMP aluminium pigments provide 20–40% higher optical reflectance than conventional bright aluminium pastes.
Yes. With proper resin formulations and topcoats, it offers strong UV, moisture, and corrosion resistance.
Generally no—most VMP flakes cannot withstand high-temperature curing. It is best for low-bake, UV-cure, or solvent-based systems.
Mirror-effect paste uses ultra-thin VMP flakes, producing a sharper, more chrome-like finish with higher reflectivity.
Yes. Custom particle sizes, solvent systems, and dispersion options are available.
Automotive, electronics, luxury packaging, printing inks, and high-end decorative coatings.
Mirror effect aluminium paste delivers unmatched reflectivity and premium metallic appearance, making it a top choice for brands seeking a high-luster, mirror-quality finish.
Silver Rocket provides stable, high-purity, vacuum-metallized aluminium pigments engineered to meet global standards.
