SPARKLEBRITE® 008NL-PA Aluminium Paste

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

SPARKLEBRITE® 008NL-PA is a very fine particle size, non-leafing aluminum pigment based on corn flake geometry.


PRODUCT APPLICATION

SPARKLEBRITE® 008NL-PA is designed to produce strong and bright metallic effects in solvent based flexographic and gravure inks. The low particle size of this grade produces outstanding printing performance for applications that require finely detailed images and text. SPARKLEBRITE® 008NL-PA contains an FDA approved plasticizer that helps maximize pigment dispersion.

INCORPORATION GUIDELINES

The paste should be pre-soaked in 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.


SAFETY AND HANDLING

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. For additional information, please refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for this product, available from Silberline upon request. An SDS is supplied with all samples of this grade.
