Subverting the traditional coating cognition: the new cross-border application of water-based
metallic pigment dispersants
Water-based metallic pigment dispersants are chemical additives specially used to improve the dispersibility
of metallic pigments in water-based systems. They have a wide range of applications, covering multiple industrial
fields.
Paint field
Architectural coatings: Adding water-based metallic pigment dispersants to architectural coatings such as interior
and exterior wall latex paints can evenly disperse metallic pigments such as aluminum powder and copper powder,
giving the coatings a unique metallic luster and decorative effect, and improving the beauty and grade of the building's
appearance. For example, in the exterior decoration of some high-end office buildings and commercial centers, the use
of architectural coatings containing evenly dispersed metallic pigments can create a gorgeous and modern style.
Automobile coatings: Automotive coatings have extremely high requirements for the appearance and performance of
the paint surface. Water-based metallic pigment dispersants can ensure that metallic pigments are stably dispersed in
automotive coatings, forming a uniform and bright metallic paint film, enhancing the visual impact and texture of the car.
At the same time, it helps to improve the weather resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties of the paint film,
and extend the service life of the automotive paint surface.
Industrial coatings: In the coating of industrial products such as machinery and equipment, metal components, etc.,
water-based metallic pigment dispersants can make metallic pigments evenly adhere to the surface of the substrate,
providing good decorative and protective properties. For example, in the coating of the shell of large machinery and
equipment, the coating after adding the dispersant can not only beautify the appearance of the equipment, but also
prevent the metal substrate from being eroded by the external environment.
Ink field
Packaging printing ink: In the packaging and printing of food, medicine, cosmetics and other products, the use of inks
containing water-basedmetallic pigment dispersants can make the printed pattern present a metallic luster, enhancing the
attractiveness and recognition of the packaging. For example, on the packaging boxes of some high-end cosmetics, the
brand logos and patterns printed with this ink can highlight the quality and grade of the product.
Publishing printing ink: In the printing of some special publications, such as art albums, limited edition books, etc.,
water-based metallic pigment dispersants can give the ink a unique metallic texture, making the printed product
more artistic and collectible.
Label printing ink: In the printing of various product labels, the ink with the dispersant can make the label more eye-catching
and improve the competitiveness of the product on the shelf. For example, the labels of some beverages and alcoholic beverages
can be printed with metallic ink to attract consumers' attention.
Plastics
Injection products: In the process of plastic injection molding, adding water-based metal pigment dispersants can make
the metal pigments evenly dispersed in the plastic matrix to produce plastic products with a metallic texture. For example,
some electronic product shells, toys, etc., can achieve a metallic appearance effect through this process while maintaining
the lightness and drop resistance of plastics.
Extrusion products: In the plastic extrusion molding process, such as the production of plastic pipes and profiles, the use of
water-based metal pigment dispersants can make the metal pigments evenly distributed in the plastic, giving the products a
metallic luster and decorativeness, meeting the needs of different customers for product appearance.
Cosmetics field
Nail polish: Adding water-based metal pigment dispersants to nail polish can make the metal pigments evenly suspended
in the nail polish system. After application, the nails show a bright metallic luster, meeting consumers' needs for personalized
manicure.
Eye shadow, lipstick and other cosmetics: Some cosmetics also use water-based metallic pigment dispersants to mix
metallic colors, providing consumers with more diverse makeup options. For example, some fashionable eye shadow products
create a shining eye makeup effect by adding metallic pigments and dispersing them evenly.
