Aluminium Paste Industry Update: Rising Demand for High-Performance Metallic Pigments

2025 / 12 / 04

The global market for aluminium paste is accelerating as manufacturers demand brighter metallic effects, stronger adhesion, and environmentally aligned performance.


What Makes Aluminium Paste Essential in Today’s Coating Industry

Aluminium paste has become a core metallic pigment due to its excellent reflectivity, durability, and compatibility with industrial coating systems. According to recent market data, the global metallic pigment sector is expected to surpass USD 3.8 billion by 2030 (Grand View Research)—with aluminium paste representing one of the fastest-growing segments.


Enhanced Performance Through Precision Particle Control

High-end aluminium paste relies on precise engineering:

  • Narrow particle size distribution to ensure even metallic appearance

  • Optimized leafing and non-leafing effects for different coating systems

  • High-purity aluminium flakes to increase reflectivity

  • Excellent solvent compatibility, especially in resin-rich industrial coatings

These factors directly influence gloss, smoothness, and hiding power—critical performance indicators for protective and decorative coatings.


Cost-Efficient Solutions for Industrial Manufacturers

As raw material costs fluctuate, manufacturers increasingly look for stable pricing and consistent quality.
ZHANGQIU METALLIC PIGMENT delivers:

  • Multiple grade options tailored to different budgets

  • OEM customization for particle size or brightness level

  • Reliable large-scale production ensuring stable monthly supply

  • High-yield formulations that reduce coating layers and labor cost

This combination provides manufacturers with lower total cost of ownership without compromising performance.


Eco-Aligned Development and Safety Improvements

Although industrial coatings rely heavily on solvent systems, the push for greener solutions is strong. Our aluminium paste products meet international safety standards and can be integrated into low-VOC systems, improving environmental compliance while maintaining metallic brilliance.

Continuous R&D ensures advancements in:

  • Safer flake passivation

  • Improved solvent retention controls

  • Enhanced chemical resistance for outdoor coatings
