Sun Chemical to Introduce New Metallic Pigments Line for Waterborne Coatings
During the show, Sun Chemical Performance Pigments will highlight a family of metallic pigments for waterborne coatings comprised of a wide variety of chemical passivation and encapsulation technologies under the Benda-Lutz® brand name.
An ideal fit for waterborne industrial coatings, Benda-Lutz® AQUARAL is a range of VOC-free, passivated aluminium dispersions that provide excellent opacity and metallic effect for environmentally friendly coatings.
