Metallic Pigments
for Printing Inks
Metallic pigments are utilized in all state-of-the-art
printing processes in order to impart high quality
gold or silver metallic effects.
These metallic effects enhance the appearance of
printed articles and give the impression of added
value.
In addition to their application in established solvent
systems these products are also extensively used in
environmentally-friendly water-based or uv curable
systems.

During the ball milling process organic lubricants
are added in order to avoid the agglomeration of
pigment particles. Leang or non-leang pigments
are thus produced, depending on the lubricant
chosen.

Aluminium pigments are achromatic (has no individual colour), goldbronze pigments are available in
typical standard colours according to the alloy
compositions utilized:
Richgold
Richpalegold
Palegold
Copper
(100% Copper)
Pastes
Pellets
The use of dust free pastes and/or pellets is usual for
aluminium pigments (due to the safety risks of
handling aluminium powders). The selection of
solvent to be used in the pigment paste is determined
by the printing process or the ink formulation and
can generally be freely chosen. A widely compatible
resin is used in the popular pellets (GRANDAL and
GRANDOR) for gravure and exo-printing.
For water based ink systems, we recommend the use
of our special, stabilized VOC free pastes (AQUADOR,
AQUASILBER, AQUAMET) or water dispersible
solvent free pellets (GRANDOR W or GRANDAL W).
Specially formulated powder, paste and granule
forms are also available for uv curable systems,
which can be individually tailored for specic
application areas.

Pigments
for Gravure & Flexographic
Printing Inks
The exo & gravure printing processes are used to
achieve the highest quality metallic effects on printed
items. The gravure printing process is primarily used
for labels, carton boards, exible packaging and wall
coverings etc. Gravure printing is preferred for very
high volume print runs and where achieving the most
brilliant metallic effect is of high importance. The
exographic printing process is more suitable for
shorter print runs than gravure and is used mainly
for lm and paper packaging, wrapping paper,
tissues, cardboards and wallpaper etc.
For the technology of exo & gravure printing,
medium to ne metallic pigments are recommended.
Typical particle size are 5-9m for goldbronze

Screen printing is one of the oldest known printing processes. One of the main benets of screen
printing is the ability to print on a wide range of
substrates, which cannot be printed by other printing methods.
Therefore screen printed metallic products will be
met everywhere and include self adhesive lms,
cardboard packaging, textiles, papers, plastics,
leather goods and metals.
