Pigments known as bronze powder, constituted by lamellar particles of copper, zinc and aluminium alloys covered with stearic acid. Beside the copper coloured characteristic, the different alloys generate the traditional golden colours: rich gold, rich pale gold, pale gold and ducate gold. These metallic pigments generate very attractive decorative metallic effects, with extended use in printing inks, adding sophistication to packages, labels and decorative product lines in general. This product line does not provide protective characteristics to the paints, it is just for decorative proposes.

Aluminium paste, leafing type, composed by lamellar particles covered with stearic acid. This product line has as characteristic the particles orientation in the uppermost layer of the paint film, applied and positioned in a multi-layer form parallel to the substrate. This orientation provides a unique esthetic shiny effect that provides the applied system with a protective barrier, good coverage, corrosion resistance, thermal reflection, etc.
