Texture Accent Metallic Topcoat is a specialty coating that incorporates fine metal particles (such as aluminum powder or copper powder) into a base. It is a two-component, room-temperature curing coating. Its core principle is to create a metallic shimmer through the reflection and refraction of light by the metal particles, imparting a three-dimensional luster and dynamic aesthetic to the coating. High-performance resins such as fluororesins and acrylic resins provide the foundation for adhesion and weather resistance. A UV-blocking agent, leveling agent, and defoaming agent are also included to optimize application performance and film quality. Applications include the automotive industry, construction, and industrial equipment.
1. Excellent Decorative Properties
Dynamic Gloss: Metal particles create a "two-color effect" that changes with viewing angle, such as the flowing light and shadow on a car body in the sun.
Rich Texture: A variety of metal textures (such as stainless steel, copper, and gold) can be simulated to suit different design styles (such as modern, industrial, and luxury).
Color Customization: Customizable color combinations (such as pearl white, carbon black, and burgundy) can be achieved by adjusting the type and proportion of metal powder.
2. Excellent Physical Properties
Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to salt spray, acids, and alkalis, suitable for coastal and chemical environments (e.g., fluorocarbon metallic paint has passed a 2000-hour salt spray test).
Weather Resistance: Resistant to UV rays and aging, it maintains its color for over 20 years of outdoor use (gloss retention >85% after adding a UV shielding factor).
High Hardness: The paint film has a hardness of 3H-4H, and is more scratch-resistant than ordinary paint (e.g., metallic painted car doors are more resistant to key scratches than solid painted doors).
3. Environmental Protection and Safety
Advantages of Water-Based Paint: Non-toxic, odorless, and pollution-free, meeting EU A+ environmental standards (e.g., VOC <10g/L for water-based baked-on metallic paint).
Safety in Application: Water-based paint is non-flammable and non-explosive, reducing fire risks; solvent-based paint requires explosion-proof equipment.
4. Affordability and Efficiency
Cost Controllability: Overall costs are 40%-60% lower than traditional metal materials (e.g., metallic paint that mimics aluminum sheeting costs only 80-150 yuan/kg).
Easy Application: Available in a variety of application methods, including spraying, brushing, and roller coating, with a daily coverage area of 100-200 square meters (for a three-person team).
Easy Maintenance: The paint film is dense, stain-resistant, moisture-resistant, and easy to clean (e.g., stains removed with a single wipe in stain resistance tests).
5. Functional Integration
Self-Cleaning: The clearcoat creates a smooth surface, reducing dust adhesion (e.g., a lotus leaf effect). Heat insulation and energy saving: Some products add infrared reflective pigments to reduce building energy consumption (such as light-colored metallic paint profiles reflecting sunlight).
