Why Water-Based Aluminium Paste Is The Top Choice for Modern Coatings

What Is Water-Based Aluminium Paste?

Water-Based Aluminium Paste is a specially engineered metallic pigment designed for waterborne coating systems. It is manufactured using aluminium powder with a narrow particle size distribution and undergoes inorganic surface treatment to minimize gas generation during formulation.

Compared with conventional solvent-based aluminium paste, this series offers:

  • Reduced gas evolution

  • Improved storage stability

  • Excellent dispersion compatibility

  • Compliance with low-VOC coating systems

The product can be produced in passivated, single-coated, or double-coated types depending on the end-use application.

Technical Characteristics

Water-based aluminium paste is developed to ensure:

  • Stable aluminum flake structure

  • Inorganic surface treatment (SiO₂ coating)

  • Controlled particle size distribution

  • Strong compatibility with waterborne resins

  • Long-term storage stability

When properly formulated in the selected resin system, it maintains consistent metallic effect and application performance.

Application Areas

This water-based aluminium paste series is widely used in:

  • OEM waterborne coatings

  • Refinish coatings

  • Coil coatings

  • Plastic coatings

  • Decorative industrial coatings

Because of the SiO₂ surface treatment, the aluminum flakes demonstrate enhanced chemical resistance and improved compatibility in waterborne systems.

Why Particle Size Matters in Waterborne Aluminium Paste

The D50 particle size directly influences:

  • Metallic brightness

  • Sparkle intensity

  • Hiding power

  • Surface smoothness

Smaller particle sizes (5–9 μm) produce fine metallic finishes suitable for plastics and decorative coatings.
Medium sizes (11–17 μm) balance brightness and smoothness for OEM applications.
Larger sizes (30–40 μm) create stronger metallic sparkle effects.

Selecting the appropriate grade depends on coating thickness, resin system, and aesthetic requirements.

Storage and Stability

Due to inorganic passivation treatment:

  • Hydrogen gas generation is significantly reduced

  • Storage stability is improved

  • Long-term dispersion consistency is maintained

Proper storage conditions:

  • Keep sealed

  • Store in cool, dry place

  • Avoid direct sunlight

Conclusion

Water-Based Aluminium Paste represents a critical solution for environmentally compliant coating systems. With controlled particle size, SiO₂ surface treatment, and stable metallic effect, it supports modern waterborne coating technologies across OEM, coil, and decorative applications.

Choosing the correct grade ensures optimal metallic performance and long-term coating durability.
