Our high-quality
stainless steel flake products are used for high-performance protective paints and industrial coating applications. Produced from our own
316L stainless steel powder, the flake offers numerous benefits for paint additive applications:
- Corrosion resistance; resistance to alkaline cleaners and detergents
- Abrasion resistance
- High specular reflectance
Paint Additive Applications
- Maintenance Coatings: Corrosion protection for equipment exposed to hostile elements and food processing or pharmaceutical plants.
- Powder Coatings: Automotive trim, wheels, suspension, and under the hood parts (particularly motorsports). Outdoor furniture and bicycles.
- Architectural Coatings: Gives a metallic look to masonry and exposed metal.
- Cookware Coatings: Promotes abrasion resistance and heat transfer in non-stick coatings.
Solvent Paint Systems
Leafing pigments are capable of concentrating at the surface of a paint film, where particles overlap each other, creating a metallic appearance.
Water-Borne Paint Systems
Stainless steel flake is particularly useful because it will not form hydrogen when incorporated into water-borne coatings and consequently will not cause gassing.
