Leafing Aluminium Paste — Standard & Speciality Grades
Leafing Aluminium Paste is a solvent-based aluminium pigment system designed to produce high-brilliance metallic and chrome-like finishes. The leafing behaviour ensures that aluminium flakes float and align on the surface of the coating film, delivering excellent reflectivity, high coverage, and smooth metallic appearance.
The product range includes multiple solvent systems (MT, NA, TO, XY) and high-performance speciality grades such as Silvosheen (SSH) and Actabrite (AB) series for advanced decorative and industrial applications.
