SS series is a high quality superfine non-leafing aluminium paste in corn flake morphology for applications like Aerosols, Automotive coatings, Hammertone finish coatings, Metallic effect finishes etc,)

SILVOLUX (SLX) series is a high quality superfine non-leafing aluminium paste which has a specially controlled particle size range in corn flake morphology. Its controlled particle size, narrow PSD and properly oriented flakes gives smooth finish without protrusion makes the surface smooth and also provides excellent color stability, tinting property and easy application suitable for can coatings / coil coatings/ printing inks and other high quality industrial coatings.

SILVER PREMIER (SP) series typically formulated in High-aromatic Mineral Spirit for good dispersion, are new range of non-leafing Aluminium paste products of semi-cornflake configurations with modest irregularity in particle shape and edges. Because of controlled particle sizes, these grades provide higher sparkling appearances and higher surface coverage even with relatively larger particle size. These grades are highly desirable for automotive refinishes, decorative coatings, screen printing and other industrial coatings.

MIRROLUX (MLX) series is a high quality superfine non-leafing aluminium paste which has a specially controlled particle size range in silver dollar morphology. Its controlled particle size, narrow PSD and properly oriented flakes gives smooth finish without protrusion makes the surface smooth and also provides excellent color stability, tinting property and easy application suitable for can coatings / coil coatings/ printing inks and other high quality industrial coatings.

ASTROLUX series typically formulated in High-aromatic Mineral Spirit for good dispersion, are new range of non-leafing Aluminium paste products having coin type geometry with roundish edge and highly polished surfaces. These grades of pigments of well controlled particle size are highly desirable for high-end paint applications such as automotive, electronic appliances, cosmetics etc., where very clean sparkling bright aesthetics are required.

Resin coated non leafing aluminium paste is of sharp particle size distribution to provide excellent color stability and tinting property. Resin coating enhances the resistance against Acid, Alkali, Thermal, Circular, Electrical changes when compared to uncoated. It also improves adhesion property .Due to its enhanced properties, it can be used in speciality coatings of OEM, Refinish, Decorative, Cosmetics, Inks, Masterbatches etc
