Product Information

– High brightness, non-leafing aluminum flake pigment based on silver dollar geometry – A cost effective pigment for producing bright metallic effects in flexographic and gravure ink systems – Carried in isopropyl acetate

SPARKLEBRITE™ PREMIER 012-PAC is especially suitable for solvent-based gravure and flexographic inks in which is displays excellent opacity and brilliance. This grade can be used in combination with transparent dyes or pigments to produce a spectrum of bright, clean metallic colors. It is compatible with a wide range of film formers, such as nc, pvb and acrylics, but is unsuitable for water-based systems.

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.

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.
