Aluminium Effect Pigments
Aluminium Effect Pigments covers platelet pigments whose orientation produces metallic optical effects. Pigments are dispersed color-bearing particles; crystal structure, surface treatment and dispersion affect the resulting shade and performance.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
The distinguishing feature is platelet pigments whose orientation produces metallic optical effects. Compare the dispersed pigment in the actual binder at matched loading and film thickness. Flocculation, particle-size distribution and refractive-index contrast change tint strength and opacity. Heat, light or chemical resistance must be checked separately; metallic flakes additionally depend on orientation after application.
What turns activity into demand
Accepted paint, plastic and ink output consumes pigment through formulation loading, dispersion yield and target shade.
The commercial boundary
Separate dry pigment, treated powder, dispersion and finished coating; chemical-family and color categories may overlap.
Does a powder's visible color predict the finished color?
