Production procedure of aluminium
powder and paste
Aluminium paste
Aluminium paste is an aluminium pigment in paste form, manufactured with high
purity aluminium as the main raw material. Aluminium powder or aluminium foil are
milled and polished in a ball mill with mineral spirits and fatty acid (oleic acid or
stearic acid) to form thin, flake-like particles.

Due to the surface tension properties of stearic acid, the leafing type orients parallel in the surface of the coating film. For the
non-leafing type, which uses oleic acid, the aluminium flakes orient uniformly in the coating film.

Applications for non-treated

Automotive coatings
Non-leafing aluminium paste color map
Automotive Parts applications
A number of high gloss aluminium paste products,
which have narrow particle size distribution with smooth
edges, are used for automotive coatings. The aluminium
paste provides excellent brightness with less light
diffusion. The automotive line includes the TCR series,
which can be used in formulations for automotive paint
circulation lines. The TCR paste has thick aluminium
particles prevent bending due to mechanical shear.
There are also many kinds of water treated aluminium
paste products, such as WL and WXM for water-borne
paints, as well as silica treated types that are completely
non-reactive with water. We also produce treated
aluminium that has a basic surface in order to easily
absorb phosphoric acid and other additives for cases
where water treatment is completed by the end user.
There are two main categories
for automotive parts coatings:
exterior and interior applications.
For exter nal applications, the
same type of aluminium paste is
used for the car body to achieve
good color harmony between car body and parts.
In situations where the final color tones differ due to
particular characteristics of the paint, aluminium paste
with a slightly different particle size may be used. For
monocoat interior applications, a resin coated aluminium
is used to increase chemical resistance. We produce
two types of resin coated aluminium products: BP and
FZ series. The amount of resin coating can be adjusted
to meet performance requirements. An untreated
aluminium type is often used for basecoat/clearcoat
interior application.

For monocoat coatings, the film must have chemical
resistance properties to avoid color change caused by
sweat or detergents and the like. Aluminium can react
with acids and alkalis causing colors to darken. In order
to avoid this, an acrylic resin coating is applied to the
aluminium particles. Our products include the highly
Chemical resistance test
chemical resistant FZ series and
the BP (Barrier Plus) series with
an even finer coating.
Untreated
Adhesiveness
Using untreated aluminium paste for plastic coating or
gravure printing can lead to peeling of the coating film. A
resin coating is an effective solution to this problem. Our
product lineup includes the FZ series and BP series with
an acrylic resin coating. Furthermore, the TD series can

Arc resistance
When performing electrostatic spray coating with a
high mix of aluminium paste, an electric current may
pass through the aluminium particles and there may be
electric current arcing. Acrylic resin coatings are also
effective for preventing this. For arc resistance, the BPA
series and FZC series, with low levels of coating, are
recommended.
Water dispersion
Standard aluminium paste uses hydrophobic mineral
spirit as a solvent so it is not suitable for dispersion
in water; however, with surface treatment and solvent
substitution methods it is possible to increase dispersion
in water. By increasing the water dispersion or adjusting
the hydrophilic properties, it is possible to control the
compatibility with a variety of binders.

the aluminium flakes.
■ Surface treatment

resin, silica coating, etc.).

Gas prevention
When aluminium paste reacts with water, hydrogen gas
is generated. As environmental issues become more of
a concern, qualities for preventing reactions with water
in water-borne paints are becoming a very important
factor. It is possible to use a variety of organic and
inorganic surface treatments to ensure gas prevention.
Environmental features
In recent years, organic solvent emissions released
while painting have become an issue and there has
been demand for the development of environmentally
friendly paints. At the same time, aluminium paste has
been developed that is suitable for water-borne paints

that are low in organic solvents and powder coatings. In
our product range we have the PCF series for powder
coatings, which do not use solvent, and we have a
variety of surface treatment technologies to allow
compatibility with water-borne paints.

with a smaller amount of resin while at the same time reducing color tone deterioration
and concealment performance deterioration during the coating process. By reducing
concealment performance deterioration it is possible to decrease the amount added to
paint and reduce costs. Furthermore, the storage stability is better than the FZ series and
the quality is maintained for long periods of time.

Toyo Aluminium’s core competencies
Stainless Steel Flakes
Classification technologies
Stainless flake, made of SUS316L has excellent corrosion resistance and chemical
resistance. The outstanding characteristics of the materials used and the properties of
the flaked form (high hiding power, labyrinth effect) result in high performance, which may
even exceed that of the component materials. To improve the settling properties, we are
developing products with even finer particles.

Colored Aluminium Friend Color New D Series
In this series, organic pigments are absorbed on the aluminium flake surfaces. An acrylic
resin is encapsulated on the flake to prevent removal of the organic pigment, so this
series has excellent chemical resistance and adhesiveness. Compared with adding
organic pigments directly to coatings and inks, this process achieves high chroma with no
clouding.

Instructions for handling of aluminium
paste
Aluminium paste is a paste primarily composed of aluminium particles in flake
form and an oil-based solvent. The following instructions contain important
points for safe handling of our aluminium paste products. Please refer to
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) from Toyo Aluminium for further details.
After opening, use the full contents as soon as possible.
If long term storage is absolutely necessary, ensure the
aluminium paste is stored with an airtight seal.
■
To ensure the solvent does not ignite, do not use
anywhere near possible sources of ignition (sparks or
flames). If the aluminium paste does ignite, use a dry
powder fire extinguisher or fire extinguishing sand. DO
NOT use water. Aluminium reacts with water releasing
hydrogen gas.
■
Aluminium reacts with water, acids and alkalis releasing
hydrogen gas. Keep aluminium paste away from water,
acids and alkalis.
Layer separation
Separation into two layers occurs in situations where a small amount of excess
organic solvent, which is added to ensure constant quality, seeps to the
surface. This layering may occur in certain storage conditions or as a result of
vibration or impacts during transport. Such separation does not represent any
deterioration in the aluminium paste’s quality or performance. Thoroughly mix
the aluminium paste to obtain a uniform dispersion before use.
Important points for handling
■
Troubleshooting
■
Aluminium paste contains mineral spirit, toluene and
other organic solvents. When handling aluminium
paste, ensure the area is well ventilated and always
wear masks and gloves that are appropriate for organic
solvents. Avoid contact with skin wherever possible.
■
When disposing of aluminium paste, please contact
an organization authorized to perform industrial waste
disposal or your local Toyo Aluminium representative.
Fatty acid (stearic acid) separation
This occurs in leafing type aluminium paste where a small amount of excess
fatty acid (stearic acid) separates from the aluminium paste. When storing in
low temperature conditions, the base solvent’s solubility potential decreases
and fatty acid can separate out on to the surface. Such separation does not
represent any deterioration in the aluminium paste’s quality or performance.
Heat the aluminium paste (to around 30°C) before use.
Information for storage and
safekeeping
■
Please store in accordance with Japan’s Fire Service
Act and other applicable laws and regulations.
■ Keep
away from direct sunlight, rainwater, and excessive
dampness. Store indoors in an airtight container at no
more than 40°C and preferably at 15°C–25°C.
Regarding terminology
The terminology below is used in this catalog as follows.

reflection of light from the aluminium paste.
■
Water covering area: Using the leafing phenomenon,
aluminium flakes are scattered evenly on a water
surface. When the flakes create a complete covering
without any gaps, the total mass of dry aluminium
flakes per unit of area gives the water covering area,
measured in cm2/g.

Activities
ISO activities
Environmental management activities
Toyo Aluminium actively undertakes ISO activities at
its Shinjo and Hino plants and has achieved ISO
certification at both of these operations centers.
Starting with ISO 9001 for quality management systems
and ISO 14001 for environmental management systems,
recently, as the importance increased, these centers
acquired ISO 27001 for information security management
systems.
Toyo Aluminium has been awarded ISO 14001 certification for environmental management systems and
we manage our energy use and are working to reduce it.
Furthermore, we put our PCF series of pigments for
powder coatings, which do not need to use organic
solvents when applied, onto the market at the earliest
possible opportunity. We are also continuing active
development of environmentally friendly aluminium
paste pigment for water-borne paints.
Global expansion
Toyo Aluminium maintains production facilities in four
diverse regions: Japan (Shinjo Plant, Hino Plant, Gose
Plant, Hirano Plant); North America (Toyal America,
Inc.); Europe (Toyal Europe S.A.S.U.); and China (Toyal
Zhaoqing Co., Ltd. manufactures aluminium paste, and
Hunan Ningxiang Jiweixin Metal Powder Co., Ltd.
manufactures aluminium powder). Our company
undertakes complete procurement and production
from atomized powder (the raw material) through to
aluminium paste (the finished product).
