AQUAVEX NL Premier 011 contains fine particle size, extremely bright, non-leafing aluminum flake pigment, in a low dusting, easily handled form. It combines in one product, easy dispersibility and gassing stability. It is essentially free of hydrocarbon solvents, but contains a passivating agent to minimize the release of hydrogen gas that can occur when aluminum flake is in contact with water. Surfactants contribute to both the low dusting property and easy dispersibility in water. Fine particle size aluminum flake pigment; Non-leafing; Solvent free; Passivated paste for water-based applications; Extremely bright silver effect

Solvent free; Extremely bright, silver effect; This grade is typically used for water based flexographic or gravure inks; Medium-Fine particle size aluminum flake pigment; Passivated for water-based systems; Fine particle size, silver dollar – AQUAVEX NL PREMIER 016 contains medium-fine particle size, extremely bright aluminum flake pigment in a low dusting easily handled form. It combines in one product the easy dispersibility of WD grades and the gassing resistance of AQUA PASTE. It is essentially free of hydrocarbon solvents, but contains a passivating agent to minimize the release of hydrogen gas that can occur when aluminum flake is in contact with water. Surfactants contribute to both the low dusting property and easy dispersibility in water. Suggested applications are water-based inks and some water-based industrial paints.

AQUAVEX Plus has been formulated to help make the production of waterbased metallic inks easier. Lower pigment loadings are possible due to high metal content, combined with pigments exhibiting high covering power (opacity). Inks made from the advanced “silver dollars” produce printed items with superior “shelf presence” due to the exceptional brightness and high-level metallic brilliance. The pelletised technology allows for safe handling and is easy to disperse. The carrier system enables the production of inks exhibiting high adhesion “split proof” characteristics, creating more robust ink products. Pelletised aluminium pigments for use in waterbased ink systems; Carried in non-ionic surfactant (ethoxylated alcohol); Easy to disperse with minimal shear; Stabilised to minimise gassing; APEO and BHT free; Good adhesion, “split proofness”; Pigments from fine cornflake to bright advanced silver dollars giving a full gamut of effects from very high opacity to extremely bright metallic effects; Particle sizes are suited to use in flexo and gravure applications; 12 months shelf life; Brightest AQUAVEX family to date

Non-leafing very fine particle size aluminium pigment in a non-ionic surfactant carrier; Exceptionally high opacity; Passivated for use in water-based systems; APEO/NPEO free; Good adhesion, “split proofness” – AQUAVEX Plus 008 is a very fine particle size cornflake pigment supplied in a pellet form. Resistance to tape testing/”split proofness” is dependent on the ink formulation. The pigment is passivated to resist aqueous attack and is combined with non-ionic surfactant (alcohol ethoxylate) to give pellets having the properties of low dusting and easy dispersibility in water. It exhibits exceptionally high opacity, resulting in a lower pigment usage. Recommended applications are water-based inks.
