Eckart Expands Its Portfolio of Aluminum-Effect Pigments for Powder Coatings
Eckart is expanding its portfolio of aluminum effect pigments for powder coatings with the addition of Standart PCUplus 1400. The new pigment combines a brilliant metallic appearance with high opacity as well as weather and chemical resistance.
With Standard PCUplus 1400, Eckart is introducing a new non-leafing aluminum effect pigment to the market that was specifically developed for demanding outdoor powder coatings. The new pigment offers a brilliant metallic appearance and high opacity, as well as excellent resistance to weathering, moisture, and chemicals. These properties make it particularly suitable for demanding exterior applications. A special protective technology gives Standart PCUplus 1400 the durability required for surfaces exposed to harsh environmental conditions. At the same time, the pigment retains the optical properties necessary for high-quality metallic finishes.
Aluminum-effect pigment for weather-resistant powder coatings
“With Standart PCUplus 1400, we meet two key requirements for outdoor powder coatings: a metallic appearance and long-term durability,” says Kerstin Ahne, Head of Technical Service and Research for Powder Coatings at Eckart. “This is particularly relevant for applications where the powder coating must retain its appearance despite prolonged exposure to the elements and other environmental influences.” Standart PCUplus 1400 can be used in established powder coating systems and is suitable for both dry-mix and binder processes. The pigment offers high hiding power and a brilliant metallic appearance, as well as the weather and chemical resistance required for outdoor use.
