Coatings Powder coatings: During the processing of powder coatings, higher shear forces are usually used, but higher shear forces will destroy the flake structure of effect pigments. In order to achieve better color and gloss effects, usually after the resin, additives and other conventional pigments are mixed, the effect pigments are added with lower shear forces. Metal substrate coatings: Effect pigments are commonly used in metal substrates such as automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, ships, metal containers, computers, and aircraft. For outdoor applications, although the rutile titanium dioxide-coated products also have very good weather resistance, we still recommend the use of special weather-resistant grades. Please visit the weather-resistant series Architectural coatings: Since the surface of most buildings is very rough for effect pigments, the surface should usually be smoothed and the spraying process with multiple thin coatings should be used as much as possible. Similarly, we recommend the use of special weather-resistant products for outdoor applications. Wood coatings: Surface smoothness is the key to achieving good color and gloss effects. Plastic substrate coatings: Effect pigments are commonly used in mobile phones, mobile phones, plastic daily necessities, plastic electronic products, plastic toys, stationery, etc. These very thin coatings should be well dispersed to avoid spots caused by pigment agglomeration. Leather coatings: The consistency of the base color is very important! When effect pigments are mixed with conventional organic pigments, attention should be paid to the stability of the hue of conventional organic pigments, such as chemical resistance, temperature resistance, etc. Textile coatings: The choice of base color is very important! When effect pigments are mixed with conventional organic pigments, attention should be paid to the color stability of conventional organic pigments. Glass substrate coatings: Glass surface is very smooth, the adhesion of the selected resin to glass is very important Seed coating: Usually there is no strict requirement for color stability. Under the premise of achieving decorative effect, price is the key to cost control Processing Note: 1. Good dispersibility is necessary for all applications. 2. Avoid using high shear force dispersion method to prevent the flake structure of effect pigments from being destroyed, thereby affecting good color and gloss effect 3. Most effect pigments are translucent or even extremely transparent. The base color and the flatness of the substrate are very critical. 4. When they are used with conventional colors/dyes, conventional colors/dyes with good transparency should be selected. Strong covering is prohibited Pigments such as titanium dioxide, ferric oxide, chrome green, etc. (except carbon black). 5. Usually, effect pigments have good color and gloss only when they are well arranged. However, for the larger particle sizes of diamond series and crystal series, when used to create a glittering effect, the more disorderly the pigment particles are arranged, the more three-dimensional glossy effect they can reflect. Construction Notes: 1. To achieve better results, for the coating construction process, high-pressure air/airless spraying is usually better than dipping, dipping is better than rubber roller coating, and rubber roller coating is better than brushing. 2. When spraying, multiple layers of thin coating will produce better results. At the same time, it should be noted that the coating should be well atomized to ensure the correct and stable distance between the spray port and the object to be coated.
