Features and Benefits: • Brilliant Sheen and Distinctness of Image (DOI)—Bright, highly-polished
reflective surface with little or no grain • High Metallic Travel and Flop—Narrow Particle Size Distribution (PSD) • Smooth Patina—No defined edge, a continuous “chrome-like” look • Ease of Use—Application and performance characteristics of traditionally-milled
aluminum pigments such as higher solids with lower Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) • Multiple Applications—Ideal for automotive interiors, wheel coatings, trim and
accessories, and specialty applications • Cost-effective—Extremely high opacity that provides the appearance of VMF pigments
Introducing SPARKLE SILVER ULTRA® Liquid Metal (LM)
Silberline’s New Family of Liquid Metal Effect Pigments Expand the Spectrum of Possibilities
Imagine an effect pigment that appears to have been created from solid metal, yet exemplifies the fluid character of a liquid. It’s an oxymoron, a liquid metal, and it’s our latest innovation for the automotive industry. We are pleased to introduce SPARKLE SILVER ULTRA 011LM, 018LM, and 020LM Effect Pigments. Producing a brilliant sheen with no visible particles, these pigments provide the appearance of pure metals such as brushed aluminum, polished steel or anodized aluminum. Silberline SPARKLE SILVER ULTRA Liquid Metal pigments deliver a powerful one-two punch—the look and appearance of Vacuum Metallized Flake (VMF) with the application benefits of conventional aluminum pastes. In today’s competitive marketplace where approximately 70% of car buyers choose effect coatings, an innovative pigment such as our new SPARKLE SILVER ULTRA Liquid Metal Series can give you a competitive edge.
