Parameter | Recommendation |
Dosage Rate | 1% – 8% by weight, depending on desired metallic effect intensity and application |
Mixing Method | Pre-mix with virgin resin thoroughly; avoid high shear mixing that may damage aluminum pigments |
Processing Equipment | Compatible with standard extruders, injection molding machines, blow molders |
Screw Design | General-purpose screws recommended; avoid excessive shear to maintain pigment integrity |
Drying Requirements | Not required for PE/PP carriers; for hygroscopic carriers, pre-dry according to specifications |
Processing Temperature | 170°C – 240°C (lower temperatures preferred to preserve metallic effect) |
Storage | Store in original sealed packaging in cool, dry conditions to prevent oxidation |
Effect Type | Pigment Type | Particle Size | Visual Appearance | Best Applications |

Advantage | Description |
Premium Metallic Pigments | We source only high-quality aluminum and pearl pigments for superior luster and consistency. |
Advanced Compounding Technology | Proprietary surface treatment and dispersion techniques ensure flawless metallic effects. |
Custom Formulations | Tailored pigment types, particle sizes, and carrier resins to achieve your exact aesthetic and processing requirements. |
Technical Support | Our experienced team provides guidance on processing parameters to optimize metallic effect and minimize defects. |
Global Supply Chain | Reliable logistics and responsive service support your international trade operations. |
Quality Assurance | Strict quality control ensures batch-to-batch consistency in effect, color, and performance. |
Tip | Description |
Avoid Over-Shearing | Use general-purpose screws; excessive shear can damage aluminum flakes and reduce luster. |
Control Temperature | Lower processing temperatures (within material limits) help preserve metallic brightness. |
Ensure Thorough Drying | Moisture can cause surface defects and dull the metallic effect – dry hygroscopic resins properly. |
Minimize Regrind Usage | Regrind may contain damaged pigments; limit regrind ratio to maintain effect quality. |
Use Appropriate Dosage | Start with recommended dosage and adjust gradually to achieve desired effect without overloading. |
