Industrial and Maintenance paints
Paints formulated with aluminium pigments are adequated for internal and external applications due to their high degree of protection to exposure conditions (weather, marine atmospheres, industrial environments, etc). They can be applied on steel, galvanized iron, aluminium, wood, concrete, brick, wall plaster, asphalt, canvas, etc.

The appearance and durability of the painted surface will depend on the quality of the paint applied, the method of application and the preparation of the surface prior to execution. As to the type of application we can emphasize:
- Spray application is more efficient, common and fast, warranting uniformity in the total leafing and a diffuse reflection of the surface. But, other factors should be observed so the leafing effect is not lost or stained and other possible defects on the painted surface appear such as: layer thickness of the applied paint, air pressure application, paint viscosity, etc;
- In brush applications, the brush movements must always be in the same direction to avoid the formation of splines;
- Application with paint rollers is indicated for painting large plane superficies. This system of application is more efficient for paints with aluminium pigments when compared to the brush, but the solvent and additive balance must be good, for a nice spreading of the paint;
