Blitz® Metal pigments
> success unites

We are only satisfied if you are satisfied because our aim is to be successful through your success. This is done without any problem with metal pigment powders, pastes or also non-dusting aluminium powders from Benda-Lutz.Whether for corrosion protection or excellent optics – Blitz® aluminium pigments do both. While Blitz® Goldbronze pigments are ideally suited for the use of noble or unusual gold tones, the Blitz® Zinc Flakes offer maximum corrosion protection with extremely low coat thicknesses. And Blitz® metallic and Spendal pigments ensure the highest noble surfaces with optimum processability. Always best in connection with the Benda-Lutz customer service – competent from advising to delivery. If both sides profit, that is certainly the beginning of a successful partnership. Because success unites.

Blitz® Aluminium pigments

Manufacture of aluminium pigments  
In the production of aluminium pigments, aluminium grit or aluminium foil granulate is milled with white spirit and additives in the Hall process. In this first milling phase the choice of the additives creates on "leafing" or "non-leafing" properties.The additives define the surface tension and thus the flotation behaviour in the paint. The milling conditions and the equipping of the ball mills allow products with various fineness and platelet thickness to be produced.After the milling, the resulting milling sludge is sieved and freed from excess white spirit by filter presses, as well as being homogenised and the exact proportion of metal adjusted. Standard aluminium pastes have a metal content of 65 %. Depending on the demands on the product, the fine metal pigments are now dried, polished, de-dusted, stabilized and or pastified. Blitz® aluminium pigments are lamellar and display a thickness-to-length ratio of 1:50 up to 1:100.

Behaviour in the coating  
The aluminium platelets orientate themselves in the coating parallel to the substrate and thus form the desired barrier effect which is then also responsible for the high covering power and the good corrosion protection of the aluminium pigments.

Leafing-Effect  
Due to the high surface tension of the pigments, this pigment moves towards the boundary surface - that is to say, the surface - of the paint film. The result is an enriching of the aluminium pigments at the paint surface which protects the paint film against weathering, radiation, abrasion and corrosion. Leafing pigments form a strongly reflective metal layer at the paint surface which can go so far as a metallic mirror effect.

Preferred applications

  • Corrosion protection coats
  • Reflective paints (silos, pipelines etc.)
  • Marine paints (covering coats)
  • Roof coatings
  • Heat-proof and highly heat-resistance paints (stove pipes, exhausts)
  • Chrome effect paints
  • Aerosols

It should also be noted that the leafing effect can be reduced or even completely destroyed by unfavourable formulations (too low surface tension of the solvent, water, tenside etc.).

In contrast to normal aluminium powder, Depuval is non-dusting.This effect is achieved by the addition of max. 0.2 % of an inert material in a special process. The basic properties of the aluminium powder are not altered by this. Depuval is safer to incorporate than conventional aluminium powders, similar to aluminium paste, with the difference that it is solvent-free and can therefore be used universally. Due to the dust-free processing, no impurities arise. So there is increased safety.

Non-Leafing-Effect  
Non-leafing aluminium pigments distribute themselves evenly in the paint film and reflect the incident light due to the paint film. Due to this they are very suitable for tinted paints like, for example, bright metallic bicycle paints or tinted hammer-effect enamels. Non-leafing pigments are also preferred for primers or intermediate coat paints as no adhesion problems are to be expected here.

Preferred applications

  • One-coat paints
  • Hammer-effect enamels
  • Primers
  • Marine paints (primers)
  • Corrosion protection coats
  • Zinc rich coatings
  • Coil Coating
  • Can Coating
  • Heat-proof and highly heat-resistance paints
