Let’s take a look at common misconceptions when using water-based aluminum silver paste. As environmental awareness continues to grow, the demand for water-based aluminum silver paste in the market has been steadily increasing, making it a new focus for research and development among major manufacturers. Now, let’s dive into some key misconceptions about its proper usage—stay tuned! According to our research, 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 type of paste disperses easily in water, offering excellent water resistance, superior weatherability, minimal gas emissions, and posing little risk to human health during application—factors that have earned it widespread consumer appeal. However, there are still several common pitfalls to watch out for: 1. **Failing to Test Samples:** Before handling this product, it’s crucial to thoroughly understand its properties and rigorously test its performance against relevant standards. Only after confirming that the results meet your specific requirements should you proceed, helping to prevent potential issues down the line. 2. **Over-Mixing:** Prolonged or high-speed mixing can compromise the integrity of the surface coating and even damage the particles themselves, leading to undesirable outcomes such as darkening of the paint, reduced opacity, and the appearance of coarse particles on the film. To avoid these problems, carefully adjust both the mixing time and speed. 3. **Improper Use of Solvents and Resins:** Incorrect handling of solvents and resins can hinder proper dispersion of the product. Instead, simply make moderate adjustments by adding the right amount of new resin or solvent. If the issue stems from the product being too fine to disperse effectively, consider extending the soaking time slightly while maintaining controlled stirring speeds. 4. **Inadequate Storage Conditions:** Proper storage is essential to preserve the quality of the product. Keep the paste sealed tightly away from direct sunlight and rain, storing it in a dry indoor environment (below 35°C). Aim to use it as soon as possible after opening, and always reseal it completely immediately after each use. This prevents evaporation of solvents and additives, which could otherwise cause the paste to dry out, turn black, or even oxidize over time. That concludes our overview of common mistakes when using water-based aluminum silver paste. Stay tuned for more insightful industry updates straight from us!
