2025 / 11 / 24
Bright Effect Aluminium Paste is widely used in coatings and inks requiring strong metallic brightness and smooth silver-dollar effects. As a manufacturer with over 30 years of expertise, ZHANGQIU METALLIC PIGMENT CO., LTD provides a clear explanation of how this material works and where it performs best.


What Is Bright Effect Aluminium Paste?

Bright Effect Aluminium Paste is a metallic pigment produced through fine grinding and controlled particle shaping.
It is known for:

  • Its characteristics include:
  • Smooth surface with minimal edge roughness
  • High reflectivity and mirror-like luster
  • Coin-like structure with a stable diameter-to-thickness ratio
  • Excellent electroplating effect
In high-end automotive, industrial, and decorative coatings, this metallic paste delivers a pure metallic luster, strong hiding power, and excellent orientation.



Key Characteristics

Based on the product data provided, Bright Effect Aluminium Paste features:

  • Fine grinding technology for consistent particle smoothness

  • Spherical, specially selected powders

  • Stable D/T (diameter-to-thickness) ratio for brightness

  • High reflectance and uniform metallic effect

  • Excellent particle arrangement for smooth coating film

How Bright Effect Aluminium Paste Is Made

1. Fine Grinding Process

Advanced grinding ensures uniform particle size and smooth edges.

2. Controlled Particle Thickness

A stable diameter-to-thickness ratio improves brightness and enhances metallic reflection.

3. Silver-Dollar Particle Technology

Particles resemble small, flat silver coins, ideal for:

  • Brilliant metallic effects

  • Smooth visual orientation

  • Strong mirror reflection

4. High-Purity Aluminium Powders

Only premium powders are selected to ensure performance consistency.


Advantages of Bright Effect Aluminium Paste

High Reflectivity

Produces a clean, bright metallic effect similar to electroplated coatings.

Superior Orientation

Aluminium flakes align uniformly, improving light reflection.

Smooth Surface Film

Creates a premium finish for automotive and industrial coatings.

Excellent Particle Distribution

Ensures consistent colour and metallic shine across large coating areas.


Applications & Comparison

Bright Effect Aluminium Paste is widely used across multiple industries that demand brilliant metallic visuals.

Typical Applications

  • Automotive topcoats

  • High-grade industrial coatings

  • Metallic inks

  • Plastic coatings

  • Decorative coatings

  • Transfer printing

Compared to Standard Aluminium Paste

FAQ: Bright Effect Aluminium Paste

1. Is Bright Effect Aluminium Paste suitable for water-based systems?
Most grades are solvent-based, but water-based options are available on request.

2. What particle size should I choose?
Smaller particles→ smoother, denser metallic effects
Larger particles  → stronger sparkle

3. Can it be used in UV or plastic coatings?
Yes, depending on the specific grade.

4. Does it offer anti-corrosion performance?
Yes—thanks to controlled particle surface treatment.


Conclusion

Bright Effect Aluminium Paste is essential for coatings and inks requiring high metallic brightness, smooth orientation, and a premium electroplated look.
