Silver Effect Pigments Revolutionizing
Autonomous Driving
ECKART’s innovative radar-transparent silver coatings combine advanced aesthetics with the functional needs of autonomous driving. Using refined aluminum and pearlescent pigments, these coatings provide exceptional silver visuals and radar compatibility for flexible design options. Two main approaches enable this — the SILVERSHINE Grey series with new fines technology, and combinations with SYMIC or LUXAN pigments that act as radar-transparent spacers. The fine SILVERSHINE and HYDROLAN product lines, available in solvent- and water-based versions, deliver minimal radar damping while maintaining metallic brilliance.
STAPA® SILTALLUX 8900 and 9900 -
Premium Silverdollar Aluminium Pastes
STAPA® SILTALLUX 8900 and 9900 series combine exceptional brightness with smooth, refined sparkle and strong metallic brilliance. These premium pigments deliver pronounced flop effects and excellent performance in solvent-borne OEM, refinish, industrial, and decorative coatings. Designed for modern coating demands, the series offers enhanced metallic intensity and visual depth for a sophisticated, high-gloss finish.
RD26000 – Premium Silverdollar Alu Pigments
The RD26000 series includes three versions of high-end silver dollar pigments: the solvent-based RD26000, the polymer-coated SBC JRD26000, and the silica-encapsulated SBC AQJ RD26000. These pigments have nearly no scattering properties, offering strong metallic effects and noticeable flop, even when combined with organic pigments. The RD26000 series is suitable for a wide range of applications, including automotive coatings, exterior/interior trims, and high-end 3C products, while meeting specific stability requirements. The SBC JRD26000, with its polymer coating, provides enhanced acid/alkaline resistance, color stability, and excellent adhesion, making it ideal for high chemical resistance applications such as coil coatings and plastic coatings. The SBC AQJ RD26000, with silica encapsulation, delivers clear and bright metallic effects, excellent gassing stability, chemical resistance, weather resistance, and circulation stability. It is widely used in waterborne paints and coatings for automotive OEM/refinish paints, general industrial coatings, and electronic appliance coatings.
Vacuum Metallized Pigment Dispersions
METALURE stands for highly brilliant aluminum pigment dispersions. Our PVD (physical vapour deposition) process provides very special effects: from light to dark, from rainbow to extreme mirror like effects. These products perform well in solvent borne coating systems and for different market segments for solvent borne gravure and flexo inks to replace foil stamping.
The new METALURE UV/LED pastes offer the opportunities to create UV/LED inks with good press stability and over printability properties with bright and mirror–like effects on different substrates.
SILBERCOTE AQ J SiO2 Encapsulated Aluminum Pigments
SILBERCOTE AQ J9500 series high-end silica encapsulated silver dollar grades show smooth optical effects combined with excellent gassing stability, chemical resistance, weather resistance and also circulation stability. They are widely used in many types of water borne paints and coatings such as automotive OEM / refinish paints, general industrial paints, electronic appliances coatings etc.
LUXAN CFX –
Weather Resistant Glass Pearlescent Pigments
The pearlescent LUXAN pigments are based on synthetically manufactured glass flakes. LUXAN CFX as a stabilized product variant is a combination of the brilliant optical characteristics of the LUXAN series with additional functional advantages, such as excellent weather resistance, condensation test and intercoat adhesion.
EDELSTEIN CFX – Weather Resistant High Chromatic Pearlscent Pigments
EDELSTEIN pearlescent pigments captivate with their brilliant sparkle, vivid luster, and remarkable durability. Developed with premium layer silicates and advanced coating technologies, they ensure lasting beauty and performance. The EDELSTEIN CFX version offers superior weather and humidity resistance, excellent intercoat adhesion, and ideal optical results—even in pneumatic or electrostatic applications.
Effects for Powder Coatings
Environmental compatibility brilliantly solved!Powder coatings offer excellent surface quality and very high material utilization with an application efficiency of up to 98 %; the effect pigments for powder coatings from ECKART contain no solvents and are extremely economical to use. This is easy on nature and your spending - in a wide range of applications from household items to commodities and technology up to the facade application. Powder coating pigments from ECKART. Durable. Resistant. Impressive.
UV/LED Printing Market Trend -
Metallic Brilliance Meets Sustainability
Driven by sustainability and the shift toward low- or no-VOC printing, UV/LED curing systems are setting new standards in modern printing. ECKART’s metallic pigment and ink solutions—such as ROTOVARIO, METALSTAR, TOPSTAR, ROTOSTAR, and ULTRASTAR UV/LED—enable printers to achieve high gloss, mirror-like metallic brilliance and excellent press stability across offset, flexo, and screen applications. These innovations not only replace traditional metallized paper and foil stamping but also deliver outstanding performance and design freedom on diverse substrates. As UV/LED technology continues to expand, metallic inks redefine both sustainability and visual impact in premium packaging and label printing.
ROTOVARIO UV/LED • Versatile Metallic Pigment Pastes
METALSTAR UV/LED • Standard Offset Metallic Inks
TOPSTAR UV/LED • Ultra-brilliant Offset Silver Inks
ROTOSTAR UV/LED • Metallic Flexo Inks
ULTRASTAR UV/LED • Ultra-brilliant Flexo Silver Inks
Corrosion Protection -
Sustainable Solutions for Every System
With the new DIN EN ISO 12944 and AMPP Paint 29 standards, sustainable corrosion protection is entering a new era. ECKART’s ProFLAKE® Zn 3000 and ProFLAKE® Zn Hydro PM 3090 deliver dual protection through galvanic and barrier effects — now also in waterborne systems that meet C5 Very High requirements. Complementing this, STANDART® Zinc Matt Black combines deep black aesthetics with long-lasting resistance for automotive, fastener, and ACE applications — redefining corrosion protection with performance and style.
