In the gold simulation flower market, gold bronze powder as the core metal pigment, with its unique physical characteristics and artistic expression, has become an indispensable key material in the industry.
Its main composition is copper zinc alloy particles, through the advanced grinding process to form micron-scale sheet structure, in a specific formula of resin carriers can form metal-like coating effect. This material breaks through the limitations of traditional electroplating process, and can form a three-dimensional metallic luster on the surface of plastic, silk, PU and other simulated flower substrates, and its hue can be adjusted with the ratio of copper and zinc, from 24K warm gold to cold platinum color system can be accurately presented.
What are the advantages of gold bronze powder in the field of artificial flowers?
Compared with traditional metal coatings, gold bronze powder in the field of simulation flowers show three core advantages:
- Its unique specular reflection characteristics can make the petals show the real precious metal flowery effect, after special surface treatment of UV resistance, to ensure that the decoration in the indoor and outdoor environment to maintain 5-8 years of color;
- Micron powder has excellent extensibility and adhesion, can perfectly fit the complex petal texture, and can create a relief texture comparable to real gold products with the imprinting process;
- The environmental protection formula that meets the RoHS standard greatly reduces the production cost, so that the metal decoration cost of a single simulated flower product is reduced by more than 70% compared with the traditional electroplating process.
Golden visual effect.
In terms of visual presentation, gold bronze powder can give simulated flowers a realistic and gorgeous metallic luster similar to real gold. The simulated flower dipped in gold bronze powder will have a subtle golden reflection on the edge of the petal and the core of the flower under the sunlight.
The gold bronze powder pigment can help it perfectly present this detail, and attach it to the petal in a delicate way, making the flower feel like being gently touched by the morning or evening light, instantly getting rid of the cheap feeling brought by the plastic and silk texture, and meeting the eye with a graceful posture. Whether it is placed in the living room of the home as a decorative center, or used in commercial places to create a high-end atmosphere, it can easily hold the scene.
Color stability.
In terms of material characteristics, gold bronze powder has excellent stability. Artificial flowers need to maintain shape and color for a long time, in the face of daily light and temperature changes, ordinary pigments may fade and change color, and gold bronze powder has strong anti-oxidation and anti-ultraviolet ability. After special process treatment mixed with adhesive coating, it can maintain its shine for years or even decades, so that consumers do not have to worry about the “eclipse” of flowers, continue to enjoy the aesthetic experience brought by it, and reduce the cost of frequent replacement decoration.
Usage method.
In the production process, gold bronze powder suitable for a variety of processing methods.
① Since spray painting. It can be evenly dispersed in the paint, and the petals can be sprayed to give the whole a layer of gauzy gold;
② Paint. It can also accurately outline the outline of the stamens and veins in the mold printing, achieve fine decorative effects, and meet the needs of different shapes and styles of simulated flowers, from European vintage flowers to simple modern florists, to help manufacturers efficient mass production, while ensuring product beauty.
③ Dip coating. All the simulated flowers are immersed in the gold paint made of gold bronze powder. After all parts are covered with the gold paint, the coated object is lifted away from the paint liquid, and the excess paint drops are naturally or forcibly returned to the paint tank. After drying, a coating film is formed on the surface of the coated object.
Market effect.
With the upgrading of the high-end decoration market’s demand for “light luxury and heavy environmental protection”, gold bronze powder technology continues to iterate and innovate. Gold Diamond’s newly developed water-based copper gold powder system, which achieves zero VOC emissions while maintaining the metallic texture, has been successfully applied to EU CE certified children’s decorative flower products. Industry data show that the global market for simulated flower gold bronze powder has reached $1.23 billion in 2023.
Nowadays, people pursue personalized, high-quality home accessories, and simulated flowers with metallic luster have become a potential single item of “explosive” on social platforms. It not only satisfies the convenience of urban fast-paced life without taking care of flowers, but also infuses artistic vitality into the space with its unique golden sparkle texture, allowing consumers to enjoy the delicacy slowly in fast life, which undoubtedly broadens the audience and market sales space of simulated flowers.
This material innovation has not only promoted the transformation of the artificial flower industry from cheap decorations to high-end artworks, but also spawned a multi-billion dollar derivative market in the fields of wedding decoration, hotel decoration, film and television props.
