What are the common misconceptions about water-based, eco-friendly aluminum silver paste? As environmental awareness continues to grow, the demand for water-based aluminum silver paste in the market is steadily increasing. However, knowledge about this product remains relatively limited, leading to several misconceptions. Let’s dive in and uncover them together—follow along with us!
What are the common misconceptions about water-based, eco-friendly aluminum silver paste? According to our editor, the production process of water-based aluminum silver paste primarily involves passivation and silica coating. Among these methods, the silica-coated version boasts a denser protective layer, enabling the finished paint to maintain stability for up to 12 months. This water-based aluminum silver paste disperses easily in water and exhibits excellent water resistance, outstanding weathering performance, and minimal gas emissions—resulting in very low potential health risks during application. However, since this innovative product has only recently entered the market, there are still several misconceptions surrounding its use and benefits.
1. Water-based aluminum silver paste has low solid content
The customer’s real concern is whether the solid content level can achieve their desired effect—and when added to the same system, even at the same dosage, the resulting performance may vary. Therefore, it’s advisable to discuss clearly with the sales representative how much water-based aluminum silver paste with the specific solid content is needed.
2. The higher the addition ratio of water-based aluminum silver paste, the stronger the metallic effect.
After adding a certain amount of water-based aluminum silver paste, further additions will no longer enhance the metallic texture. In fact, continuing to add more could weaken the resin's luster and even cause visible particles to appear.
3. If water-based aluminum silver paste has an odor, it’s not environmentally friendly.
Water-based aluminum silver paste is environmentally friendly. The odor you detect comes from the solvents and additives that have evaporated from the water-based aluminum silver paste—both of which are classified as eco-friendly solvents and pose no risk of pollution to humans or the environment.
4. Water-based aluminum silver paste turns black
Overly prolonged stirring and high-speed mixing can damage the surface coating and compromise its integrity, leading to blackening of the paint, reduced opacity, and undesirable phenomena such as coarse particles in the dried film. Therefore, it's essential to carefully control both the stirring speed and duration during the process.
