ZQ Metallic Pigment is currently participating in Poland Coatings Expo 2026, held from September 1 to 3 at Ptak Warsaw Expo in Poland. The exhibition brings together companies and professionals from the coatings, paints, surface protection and related industries.

At the exhibition, ZQ Metallic Pigment is presenting its three major metallic pigment product lines: aluminum paste, aluminum powder and bronze powder, providing metallic effect solutions for coatings, paints, printing inks, plastics and decorative applications.

1. Aluminum Paste for Metallic Coatings and Paints

Aluminum paste is one of the key metallic pigments used to create silver, bright metallic and reflective effects.

Different grades of aluminum paste can be selected according to the coating system and the desired surface appearance, including leafing aluminum paste, non-leafing aluminum paste, water-based aluminum paste and high-brightness grades.

Typical applications include:

• Automotive coatings
• Industrial coatings
• Anti-corrosion coatings
• Plastic coatings
• Wheel coatings
• Decorative coatings
• Water-based coatings
• Printing inks

The right aluminum paste can influence metallic brightness, hiding power, flake orientation, dispersion and the final appearance of the coating.

For waterborne coating systems, specially treated water-based aluminum paste can be used to achieve good dispersion and metallic appearance while meeting the requirements of water-based formulations.

2. Aluminum Powder for Industrial Applications

Aluminum powder is another important product in ZQ Metallic Pigment's metallic pigment portfolio.

Supplied in dry powder form, aluminum powder can be used in a variety of industrial and formulation applications where metallic properties, particle characteristics or a specific visual effect are required.

Typical applications include:

• Industrial coatings
• Protective coatings
• Building materials
• Decorative materials
• Thermal-related applications
• Chemical and industrial formulations
• Metallic-effect products

Different particle sizes and specifications can provide different performance and appearance characteristics. Therefore, buyers should select aluminum powder according to their formulation, processing method and final application.

For industrial customers, important evaluation factors may include particle size, purity, appearance, dispersion, consistency, packaging and supply stability.

3. Bronze Powder for Golden Metallic Effects

Bronze powder, also known as copper gold powder or gold bronze pigment, is mainly used to create golden, brass-like and other warm metallic effects.

It is widely used in applications where a premium golden appearance is required.

Typical applications include:

• Printing inks
• Decorative coatings
• Plastic coatings
• Packaging printing
• Furniture coatings
• Leather coatings
• Decorative materials
• Architectural finishes

Different bronze powder grades can provide different shades and metallic appearances. Factors such as color shade, particle size, brightness, dispersion and compatibility with the binder system should be considered when selecting bronze powder.

For printing ink and decorative coating manufacturers, choosing the appropriate bronze powder can help achieve a more consistent and attractive metallic finish.

4. Three Metallic Pigments for Different Applications

ZQ Metallic Pigment provides three major metallic pigment product categories for different industrial requirements.

Although all three products are metallic pigments, their formulations, appearance and application requirements are different.

Selecting the right product depends on the desired metallic effect, coating or ink system, particle size, dispersion requirements, application method and performance expectations.
