Bronze & Aluminum Powders
Bronze and aluminum powders are metallic pigments used to impart a gold or silver color. They consist of fine particles of brass (copper and zinc) or pure aluminum. Bronze and aluminum powders are characterized by SHADE and FINENESS. The most common shades are:
Richgold - an almost greenish, yellow gold, closer to "brass" | |
Richpalegold -an intermediate shade closest to 22K gold color | |
Palegold - a coppery reddish shade | |
Copper - like a new copper penny | |
Aluminum - silvery but with some gray tones |
The categories of fineness include:
Extra Brilliant or Brilliant - a coarse flake (25 microns or larger) which shows real sparkle but a sometimes grainy surface | |
Fine or Lining - a more matte finish (10-15 microns) allowing fine detail | |
Extra Fine or Superfine - smoothest surface (3-5 microns), provides best coverage with a metallic sheen, but no sparkle |
Bronze and aluminum powders are sold by weight and standard packages ranging from small vials to 100 pound drums. The LUCO line is suited to both high-volume industrial use and retail or hobby marketing. Our technical support staff can help you determine the best powders for your needs.
