Product Information

SPARKLE SILVER 3500 is a medium particle size, non-leafing aluminum pigment. It was developed to provide formulators of general industrial finishes with an economical source of sparkling aluminum flake. It is widely used in all types of industrial coating formulations, including hammer finishes, coil coatings and aerosols. Where high purity is required, the related SPARKLE SILVER 3000-AR is recommended. SPARKLE SILVER 3500 is suitable for use in screen printing inks, and general industrial coatings.

-Non-leafing

-Cornflake

SPARKLE SILVER 3500 is applicable for use in a diverse range of metallic finishes. If stain resistance is important, SPARKLE SILVER 3000-AR should be used.

The paste should be pre-soaked in a solvent at a paste:solvent ratio of between 1:1 to 3:1. Pre-soaking generally takes from one to eight hours. Finer grades typically take longer than coarser grades. Use low shear, slow speed mixing to achieve a smooth consistency free of agglomerates. High shear dispersion techniques should be avoided, as they will distort the aluminum flakes.

Aluminum pigment should be stored in the original shipping container and kept tightly sealed. Store containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated, and properly rated area. Avoid any conditions that will suspend or float the particles in the air, creating a dust cloud. Avoid all possible sources of ignition.
