Shaping the Future of Plastics with Aluminium Pigment Pellets

Shandong Gold Diamond Metallic Pigment Co., Ltd., a globally recognized leader in high-performance metallic pigments, is proud to present its breakthrough innovation tailored for the plastics industry — the Aluminium Pigment Pellet for Plastics. This pioneering product reflects the company’s dedication to providing advanced, sustainable, and reliable pigment solutions that elevate the aesthetic and functional standards of plastic products.

As global markets continue to demand more visually dynamic and differentiated plastic goods, manufacturers are seeking new ways to combine style with substance. Gold Diamond’s aluminium pigment pellets offer exactly that — superior metallic brilliance, robust performance, and processing convenience, all in one engineered solution.

Aluminium Pigment Pellet for Plastics: A Technological Leap

Developed through precision engineering and years of material science expertise, the Aluminium Pigment Pellet is designed to integrate seamlessly into various thermoplastic and thermoset systems. These pellets are made by encapsulating high-purity aluminium flakes into a carrier resin compatible with plastic processing methods such as extrusion, injection molding, and compounding.

Key Advantages:

• Superior Dispersion:
  The pelletized form enables excellent dispersion of aluminium pigments within the plastic matrix. This prevents pigment agglomeration, ensuring a uniform metallic effect throughout the product without streaks or inconsistencies.
• High Aluminium Content:
  Containing up to 80% aluminium by weight, the pellets provide a rich, vibrant metallic sheen. This high pigment loading enables designers to achieve luxurious, reflective surfaces without overloading the base resin or affecting mechanical strength.
• Low Moisture Absorption:
  With moisture content ≤0.15%, these pellets are particularly suited for high-temperature plastic processing. Low moisture minimizes the risk of surface defects like blistering, bubbling, or voids during molding or extrusion.
• Tailored Particle Size Distribution:
  Gold Diamond offers customizable particle size ranges to meet the specific aesthetic or technical needs of different polymer systems, from high-gloss finishes to subtle metallic sheens.
• Environmental and Operational Safety:
  Unlike traditional aluminium powders, pelletized forms significantly reduce dust generation, improving handling safety and reducing health risks during production.

Applications Across Plastic-Intensive Industries

Aluminium pigment pellets have become essential in several industry verticals where aesthetics, durability, and functionality converge. Their ease of use, visual appeal, and compatibility with a wide range of polymers make them ideal for the following applications:

1. Automotive Components

Modern automotive design embraces both elegance and resilience. Aluminium pellets are widely used in:

• Interior parts: dashboards, trims, and gear components for a high-end metallic finish.
• Exterior elements: grilles, handles, mirror housings, and decorative panels that demand weather resistance and UV stability.

By using aluminium pigment pellets, OEMs can deliver enhanced product value while meeting strict quality and environmental standards.

2. Consumer Electronics

The sleek, modern look of metallic plastics has become a defining feature of many electronic products. Aluminium pellets are used in:

• Smartphone and tablet casings
• Laptop bodies
• Remote controls and game consoles
• Kitchen and home appliances

These pigments not only add visual sophistication but also contribute to scratch resistance and durability.

3. Cosmetic and Premium Packaging

In the cosmetics and personal care industry, packaging plays a critical role in brand perception. With aluminium pigment pellets, manufacturers can craft:

• Luxury cosmetic jars and caps
• Perfume bottles
• High-end promotional displays

The metallic luster adds depth and elegance, attracting consumer attention and strengthening product identity on retail shelves.

4. Industrial Plastics and Equipment

For functional and durable plastic components used in machinery and tools, aluminium pellets enhance the appearance without compromising performance. Common applications include:

• Protective covers
• Housings for electrical tools
• Utility handles and knobs
• Outdoor plastic furniture

Here, the metallic finish not only enhances visual appeal but may also provide improved UV resistance and thermal reflection.

Compatibility and Customization

The Aluminium Pigment Pellet is compatible with a broad range of thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, including:

• Polypropylene (PP)
• Polyethylene (PE)
• Polystyrene (PS)
• Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
• Polyamide (PA)
• Polycarbonate (PC)
• Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
• Polyurethane (PU)

Shandong Gold Diamond offers tailored solutions to meet customer-specific requirements. Whether your production line involves masterbatch creation, direct injection molding, or extrusion coating, our technical team can assist with product selection and formulation recommendations.

Driving Sustainability and Innovation

In line with global sustainability trends, the Aluminium Pigment Pellet supports environmentally conscious manufacturing:

• Reduced waste: Due to controlled dosage and minimal pigment loss.
• Safer workplace: Dust-free handling compared to traditional powder pigments.
• Energy efficiency: Fast dispersion leads to reduced processing time.
• Recyclability: Compatible with recycled polymer systems without loss of effect.
