Non-Leafing Aluminium Powder — Speciality Grades
Non-Leafing Aluminium Powder (Speciality Grades) is a dry aluminium pigment system engineered to deliver controlled sparkle, brightness, and uniform dispersion in a wide range of applications. Unlike leafing systems, these powders are fully wetted by the binder, ensuring stable distribution and consistent metallic effects throughout the coating or plastic matrix.
The FLITTER and GLITTER GLAMOUR series are designed for both industrial and high-end aesthetic applications, ranging from coatings and masterbatches to cosmetics and textile printing.
- Non-leafing behaviour ensures uniform dispersion in the system
- High brightness and polished metallic appearance
- Controlled particle size distribution
- Low dusting and improved handling safety (GLITTER GLAMOUR series)
- Suitable for plastics, coatings, inks, and cosmetics
- Excellent compatibility with masterbatches and polymer systems
- High purity metallic effect pigments
Morphology & Processing Notes
- Type: Dry aluminium flake powder
- Morphology: Flake / polished particle structure
- Processing medium: Mineral spirit (wet sieving)
- Key performance factor: Particle size + brightness + safety handling
