Ultimate Thin Aluminium Flake pigment, UTF-410
Outline
High brightness and particle-less feeling appearance due to extreme thin flake and crushless edge by ball milling technology.
Because of its excellent hiding power, a mirror like effect can be obtained in thin films that takes advantage of the characteristics of the UTF thin flake aluminium pigment.
Silica and resin encapsulations are also available.
