Aluminium Powder Overview
Leafing and non-leafing aluminium powders offering bright silver effects from fine sparkle to high-coverage mirror finishes.
Product Profile
Aluminium powder is produced from atomised or milled aluminium and classified by particle size (mesh). Fine grades give a smooth satin-silver finish; coarse grades produce a bright sparkle effect.
Our aluminium powders are compatible with solvent-based and water-based systems, suitable for coatings, printing inks, plastics, masterbatch, leather finishing and textile printing. Standard packaging is available in 25 kg drums; custom particle-size distribution and surface treatment can be supplied on request.
Available Mesh Grades
Standard aluminium powder grades sorted by mesh. Finer meshes give smoother finishes; coarser meshes give stronger sparkle.
