L-270 is a fine, non-leafing aluminum pigment with good opacity for solvent based general industrial coatings. This is an economical grade with cornflake geometry and wide particle size distribution range. This grade can be used with chromatic pigments to product colored metallic effects.

-Non-leafing

General industrial coatings, coil coatings.

The paste should be presoaked 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.
