Premium leafing aluminium paste is designed to float on the surface of the coating film, forming a dense reflective layer. This creates an intense metallic shine and strong visual impact unmatched by non-leafing types.
According to industry data (European Coatings Journal, 2024), leafing aluminium pigments can increase surface reflectivity by over 30% compared with non-leafing grades.
Key advantages include:
Ultra-bright metallic mirror effect
Strong leafing behavior for smooth, reflective films
High hiding power with low dosage
Consistent particle size and orientation
Excellent formulation stability
Premium leafing grades use well-polished aluminium flakes.
These flakes align parallel to the coating surface, maximizing reflection.
This alignment produces:
Mirror-like brilliance
Clean metallic tones
Reduced graininess
Particles undergo controlled milling and double classification for optimal uniformity.
The special wetting agent system allows the flakes to migrate to the surface of the coating film, forming a continuous reflective layer.
This results in:
High brilliance in a thin coating
Strong flop and highlight contrast
Better orientation than conventional leafing grades

Independent testing (ISO 7724 brightness measurement) shows leafing pigments typically provide 15–40% higher metallic gloss than non-leafing equivalents.
Yes. Its surface-floating behavior produces one of the brightest metallic finishes available.
Yes, but a clear protective topcoat is recommended to enhance weather resistance.
Silver Rocket offers fine, medium, and coarse flakes customized for brightness or sparkle intensity.
Yes. It performs well with acrylic, polyester, alkyd, and NC systems.
Gentle mixing is sufficient—over-dispersion may damage flake structure.
Premium Leafing Aluminium Paste delivers unmatched brilliance and strong leafing behavior ideal for automotive, industrial, and decorative high-gloss coatings. With over 20 years of expertise, Silver Rocket Metallic Pigment Co., Ltd. offers consistent, high-purity aluminium pastes trusted worldwide.
