METALURE® C: A Vacuum Metallized Pigment

Metalure® C is the latest vacuum metallized pigment from ECKART that is ultra-fine and offers supremely high mirror-like effects; more than traditional pigments produced using physical vapor deposition.

Featured below are the standard C2 and darker C5 tones.

METALURE® C 21010

METALURE® C 21010 is ECKART’s latest innovative METALURE® product out of the new METALURE® C series, based on vacuum metallized pigments (VMP) – also called physical vapor deposition (PVD) pigments.

It offers superior optical enhancements regarding brilliance and gloss. It achieves highly brilliant bright mirror effects, similar to metalized substrates, and can be used as a replacement to electroplating processes.

Target applications are solvent-based coatings for consumer electronics, automotive trim (interior and exterior), wheel rims as well as printing applications, e.g. for flexographic and gravure printing.

​​​​​​​Optical Properties - Comparison with Standard Grade (METALURE® L-55700)

The optical impression of METALURE® C 21010 shows a bright pure metal like look, which is demonstrated by lower L* values in low angles and higher flop brilliance indexes In addition, METALURE® C 21010 yields significantly higher gloss values in both 60° and 20° angles.

METALURE® C 21010 Optical Properties (Comparison with Standard Grade)

In ink formulations, METALURE® C types guarantee high quality prints with perfect bright mirror optics, no haziness and outstanding clarity of image.

Our brand-new technology as well as special classification procedures lead to the uniform, tight particle size distribution of METALURE® C 21010. Thus, this new product impresses with its superior, chrome-like appearance and its wide compatibility in binders and solvents.

METALURE® C 21010 shows a much tighter particle size distribution than standard PVD pigments. The result: an impressive chrome-like optics.
