**New Form in Aluminum Pigment**

New Form in Aluminium Pigment Plastics have become an important part of our lives in terms of both strength and functionality. Through the use of numerous chemicals, pigments and additives in their production, they are diversified in terms of different colors, mechanical strength, physical properties and so on. Depending on the application area, compliance with many regulations such as food, REACH, RoHS, toys (EN-71) may be required. In addition to the technical properties of the products used, colors and effects that are in line with current trends or preferences also come into play. When viewed through the lens of pigments, the surfaces we encounter in our daily lives and the issue of contact with food are among the most important topics. Aluminium pigments are used especially to provide metallic/chrome-style colors. They have many types within themselves such as solvent-based, water-based, medical-oil-based, silica-coated and so on. Of course, both in terms of odor and food contact, medical-oil-based products are generally preferred. While some manufacturers use the powder form, others prefer to use it in paste form. However, another option is also possible.

PE Wax Carrier Aluminium Pigment

These products are formulated by embedding them in 30% PE wax. They are produced from silver dollar particles (particles with smoother surfaces) that is, particles that can provide a brighter effect. Since the recommended usage rates are below 5%, it will also provide a cost advantage.

Some of the advantages;

• Due to its granular structure, dusting in masterbatch production and material loss in paste form due to liquid content is much lower. • Since it contains no solvent, it can be used for applications requiring food compatibility. • Compatible with many plastic types (PE, PP, PC, ABS, etc.). • Compatible with blow molding, film, extrusion, injection methods. • Due to its granular structure, it provides storage convenience and space savings. • Since it is in granular form, 100% of the material can be taken from the package, no material loss occurs. • Unlike uncoated powder aluminium that may become static, and unlike aluminium pastes that may deteriorate due to storage conditions, these risks do not exist. • Many varieties are available in the 8–340 μm range. • Since it comes in plastic packaging, it can be recycled.
