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.
