Pigment Form Specificaly Developed for Easy Use in Plastics
Aluminum pigments in dry powder form are dusty and easily become airborne. Once suspended in air, a cloud of aluminum pigment particles will burn explosively when exposed to any source of ignition. It is also common for dry powdered aluminum pigments to collect in the duct work of ventilation systems causing additional safety problems. In order to minimize the dust and explosion potential of aluminum pigments, they are often provided in a form in which a pigment binder or carrier holds the individual pigment flakes together. For use in plastics, aluminum pigments are most commonly provided as a plasticizer dampened powder or as a pellet in which the flakes are bound together with a solid resin.
