Powder

Aluminum paste

Aluminum paste is a metallic pigment made by adding organic solvent (or equivalent) to aluminum that has been crushed or ground into powder form.
It is safer and more convenient than aluminum powder as particles cannot become airborne.

Type
・Resin coated aluminum paste
・Water-soluble aluminum paste
・Toluene-free formulation
Aluminum pasteAluminum paste

Resin coated

Aluminum paste is a high-precision, durable resin material that provides the following benefits:
・Strongly adhesive
・Minimal loss of brightness from coating
・Minimal odor since fatty acids are replaced by resin
・Stable over prolonged periods

Products
BPA type: Minimal resin coating thickness for optimum brightness.
BP type: More generous resin coating for maximum solvent resistance and bonding strength.
Features
We can design a specific formulation to provide the required properties such as bonding strength and/or solvent resistance.
Applications
Paint, printing ink, plastic molding material dye

Water-based aluminum paste

Ordinary aluminum pastes are formulated with hydrophobic mineral spirit solvents that do not disperse in water.
Water-based aluminum paste, on the other hand, disperses readily in water and is suitable for surface finishing, providing a viable alternative to solvents.

Products
Water-based paint, water-based printing ink
Applications
Phosphorous compound type, molybdenum compound type, anti-gas silica coating type

Toluene-free aluminum paste

Toluene-free aluminum paste is made with n-propyl acetate rather than mineral spirit, in accordance with VOC regulations.

Features

Applications
Paint, printing ink, plastic molding material dye

Pearl pigment

Pearl pigment

Pearl pigment

Pearl pigment is a powder that gives off the luster of pearls. It consists of thin-board mica powder coated with titanium dioxide in a layered structure that generates multipath reflection (regular reflections of incident light from multiple layers).
Pearl pigment luster is both deeper and gentler than conventional metallic shine. It is also translucent and interacts with the base color to create striking visual effects.

Available in particle sizes ranging from 5 µm to 500 µm.
Colors
Silver type, interactive type, gold type, metallic luster type
Applications
・Cosmetics, paint, ink, plastic (injection molding, blow molding, press molding)

Paint, printing ink, plastic molding materials

Polarized pigments

Chromashine

Chromashine is a polarizing pigment made from surface-treated aluminum flakes.
Boasting an all-new look and feel, Chromashine is created by coating aluminum flakes with multiple organic and inorganic layers to produce a variety of colors that shift and change according to viewing angle, a property known as color flop.
The aluminum base gives off a metallic appearance along and provides superior shielding relative to conventional interference pigments.

Products
Available in choice of 10 µm and 20 µm particle sizes.
Applications
Paints and printing inks for consumer appliances, computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, televisions, video players, games and other digital devices

Colorstream @

Colorstream @ is an all-new pigment made from synthesized silica flakes with a titanium oxide or iron oxide coating.
Artificial silica flakes provide a smooth surface of uniform thickness that reflects incident light at varying angles, so that the color changes depending on the viewing angle.

Available in particles sizes from 5 µm to 40 µm.
Applications
Paints and printing inks for consumer appliances, computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, televisions, video players, games and other digital devices
