What does metallic paint mean? What is the difference between metallic paint and regular paint?

metallic paint, also known as metallic glitter paint; It is a popular car topcoat at present. Fine aluminum particles are added to its paint base, and after the light hits the aluminum particles, the aluminum particles are reflected through the air film. As a result, it looks as if the metal is glittering.

This kind of metallic glitter paint gives people a pleasant, light, and novel feeling, so it is very common now. By changing the shape and size of the aluminum particles, you can control the glitter of the metal glitter paint film; On the outside of the metallic paint, a layer of varnish is added to protect it.

In addition to its high hardness, metallic paint can also express the beauty of the layered body of the car. Another reason why "metallic paint" is becoming more and more common is that it is mixed with metal powder, and with metal components, the hardness of the paint increases, and the paint surface becomes harder, making it less likely to be scratched.

There are some "plain paints" that are not metallic paints, and the most typical colors are white, black, bright red, and yellow; It's not that silver powder can't be added to these colors of lacquer, but when silver powder is added, the color that appears is not the original color, white will become pearl white, black will become shiny "carbon black", red will become so-called "burgundy", and yellow will become a sparkling "golden yellow".

Plain paint without metal powder will have a softer hardness, and it is easier for the paint surface to peel off when it is hit by flying stones bouncing off the road surface at high speeds. Moreover, the plain paint car must not be directly wiped with a dry cloth or a damp cloth when cleaning, and it is absolutely necessary to use a large amount of water to wash off the dust on the surface of the car paint, so that the hard gray sand will not have the opportunity to scratch the car paint as soon as the rag touches the car body.

Metallic paint, English name metallic paint, metallic paint refers to a kind of room temperature curing paint with fine metal particles in the paint base, which is a popular automotive topcoat. Fine aluminum particles are added to its paint base, and after the light hits the aluminum particles, the aluminum particles are reflected through the paint film.

Automotive Knowledge Encyclopedia: What is Metallic Paint.

The difference between metallic paint and ordinary paint is: different hardness, different color changes, and different characteristics.

Hardness: Metallic paint is harder than ordinary paint, because metallic paint is doped with metal powder, so the paint becomes harder, which can reflect the layering of the car body, and virtually delay the aging of the car paint; The hardness of ordinary paint is relatively soft, and it is likely to be scratched by small stones during the driving process.

Color change: metallic paint is not easy to fade and change color after spraying; The color of ordinary paint after spraying is quite different and easy to fade.

Features: Metallic paint has good corrosion resistance and hard paint film; The cost of ordinary lacquer is low and the process is simple.

Features and uses of metallic paints:

The paint film is hard, which is a major feature of metallic paint. Therefore, objects that have been painted with metallic paint are not easy to be scratched. Metallic paints also have good UV resistance.

This is very good, for those who drive outdoors, the car can also play a role in the protection of ultraviolet rays. In addition, this paint is extremely resistant to corrosion, which greatly increases the service life of the coating.

In addition to being used in automobiles, metallic paints are also suitable for exterior wall coverings made of plastic, metal, wood and other materials. Metallic paint can protect the beauty of metal objects very well, in fact, any product with its own uniqueness can be developed for a longer time. Metallic paints are very versatile.

Automotive metallic paint is a kind of high-grade automotive paint configured with metal powder, such as copper powder and aluminum powder. It has a metallic glitter texture, which can improve the grade of the paint film and fully demonstrate the noble and elegant temperament. Generally, there are two types: waterborne and solvent-based.

Because the metal powder is unstable in water and air, chemical reaction often occurs and deteriorates, so its surface needs special treatment, resulting in the metal powder used in water-based paint is expensive, the use is limited, and it is mainly solvent-based, with the progress of life, the continuous development of the automobile industry, the production of safe and environmentally friendly automotive coatings can play an important role in opening up the new coating market.
