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.

Recommended Applications: SPARKLE SILVER ULTRA 011LM, 018LM, & 020LM products are ideal for: • Automotive interiors • Wheel coatings • Trim and accessories • Specialty applications

Formulation/Application Guidelines: • Formulate at higher P/B (typically ~ 1:1) • Formulate at lower solids • Formulate using a slower solvent package at higher P/B • Apply in thinner coats to hiding • Siphon application

Starting Point Formulation: Coating on Plastic (Solvent borne) Aluminum Premix SPARKLE SILVER ULTRA 020 LM (65% metal) 10.4% t-BAc 41.8% Main Batch Paraloid B-84 (45% resin in n-BuOH) 15.0% Solvent Blend (MEK / DIBK) 32.8% 100.0% Add aluminum premix to main batch under low shear agitation. Ratio of solvent blend should be 2:1 or 3:1 DIBK:MEK to prevent dry spray
