Industry is responding to heightened environmental consciousness with aqueous or water-dilutable coating systems. ECKART offers a complete line of products for aqueous systems: leaf-shaped, stabilised "leafing" and "non-leafing" aluminium pigments are available as pigment pastes under the brand name STAPA®. These pigments are not just water-dispersible, but also permit the formulation of aluminium-based, metal-effect coatings that are resistant to gassing and thus more stabile for storage. These coatings can be used for an extremely wide variety of applications.
