As global industries drive the development of safer, greener, and more environmentally friendly materials,Water-Based Aluminium Granule have emerged as a major breakthrough. Compared to traditional aluminum paste, this novel material not only enhances storage stability, reduces gas release, and improves safety, but also supports applications in water-based coating systems. This article will explain the working principle of water-based aluminum particles, the reasons behind the industry's shift toward this material, and how to select the appropriate aluminum material for your specific application.
ZWG water-based aluminum granule is an all-solid product without VOC. It is coated with Sio2 and has good storage stability. The product is easy to disperse and can be directly dispersed with alcohol, alcohol ether and water.
Excellent Water Resistance – Prevents hydrogen generation during storage and use.
Stable Dispersion – Designed for water-based resin systems.
Good Metallic Effect – Produces clean metallic brightness similar to solvent-based aluminium paste.
Improved Safety – Greatly reduces the risk of gas expansion or drum bursting.
This technological upgrade makes it ideal for manufacturers moving toward VOC-free or low-VOC coating formulations.
Traditional aluminium paste can react with water, producing hydrogen.
Water-based aluminium granule eliminates this risk with advanced surface treatment.
Aluminium Paste: May expand or deteriorate under humidity or temperature changes.
Water-Based Aluminium Granule: Maintains stability during long-term storage, even in water-based systems.
Water-based aluminium granule is engineered for:
acrylic emulsions
polyurethane dispersions
epoxy emulsions
while aluminium paste is mainly used in solvent-based coatings.
Water-based solutions reduce VOC emissions and comply with environmental regulations in North America, Europe, India, and Southeast Asia.
The surface coating technology prevents aluminium from reacting with moisture. This ensures:
no hydrogen gas formation
no pressure build-up in storage containers
safer long-distance transport
Despite being water-based, it still provides:
clean metallic brightness
uniform flake orientation
good covering power
Ideal for industries that demand both safety and visual performance.
Water-based aluminium granule disperses quickly in water without coagulation. This reduces labor time and improves formulation efficiency.
Water-based industrial coatings
Anti-corrosion coatings
Water-based inks and printing materials
Water-based architectural paints
Fireproof coatings
Metallic effect decorative coatings
