SILVER PREMIER grades typically formulated in High-aromatic Mineral Spirit for good dispersion, are non-leafing Aluminium pastes of semi-cornflake configurations with modest irregularity in particle shapes and edges. Because of controlled particle sizes, these grades provide higher sparkling appearance and higher surface coverage even with relatively larger particle size. These grades are highly desirable for automotive refinishes, decorative coatings, screen printing and other various industrial coatings.
SILPLUX grades with postfix 'P' are in pelletized form for dust free applications, the grades with postfix 'M' are in semi paste form with paraffin oil. SILPLUX are designed mainly to provide metallic looks to the molded plastic bodies, light reflection to remote sensing, corrosion protection to create vapor barriers, improving wear and tear properties of plastic body etc. SILPLUX provides not only natural silver color but also provides sparkling effects with different colour pigments.

* Keep the container closed and away from any heat, spark or flame
* Store in a cool and dry place with adequate ventilation
* Never keep the drum in open condition after partial usage
* Consumption of the product at once when drum is opened, gives better results
* Pigments should be handled without dust formation
* Consumption of the paste within 6 months can give better results
Particle size values (D50) are as per Malvern Mastersizer 2000. Due to continuous improvements, there may be changes in specification.
