Conclusion
In a continuous effort to improve the performance characteristics of metallic pigments for aqueous coatings, a wide variety of ‘water friendly’, metal flake pigments are now available. They have been carefully designed to meet the individual needs of different paint markets.
Eckart is in a position to tailor-make metal flake pigments for the individual cases, for individual industries. Water-based coatings formulators can now combine the most suitable stabilised metallic pigment with a well-adjusted formulation. Now water-based, gassing-resistant, coatings, are a reality.
Additional information for selecting and getting the best use from Metal Flake Pigments, will be found in Tables 1 and 2.
