Standard aluminium pigments for
powder coatings

The aluminium pigments of the PCR series are inorganically encapsulated with silicon dioxide. On the one hand this silica coating provides excellent processing properties during powder coating application, on the other hand – due to the barrier effect of the SiO₂-layer – it guarantees a certain protection against
corrosive chemicals. The decisive advantages of PCR aluminium pigments are:

• unique metallic brilliance
• high colour strength
• good electrical charging
• easy processing with Corona and Tribo techniques
• good shear stability – therefore very suitable for processing with the bonding technique

The typical pigment level of PCR aluminium pigments varies between 0.5% and 5.0%.
The basic product programme of PCR comprises a selection of five pigment grades ranging from very coarse to very fine.
