Aluminum Leafing Flakes
These are thin, flat aluminum flakes with a lamellar structure designed for leafing in paints and coatings, where they align parallel to the surface to create a metallic sheen. Classified under HTS 7603.20.00.00 as aluminum flakes of lamellar structure used primarily in industrial coatings. They meet the definition of aluminum powders and flakes due to their thin, plate-like form.
Micronized Aluminum Flakes for Automotive Paint
Fine aluminum flakes around 10-20 microns thick with lamellar structure, optimized for automotive metallic basecoats to provide sparkle and durability. Falls under HTS 7603.20.00.00 as powders of lamellar structure specifically for paint applications. Their flat, platelet shape distinguishes them from spherical powders.
Aluminum Pigment Flakes 20 Micron
Lamellar aluminum flakes sized at 20 microns, non-leafing type used in industrial paints for uniform metallic effects without surface floating. Classified in HTS 7603.20.00.00 for their flake structure ideal for pigment dispersion. Purity meets aluminum powder definitions without alloying.
Super Leafing Aluminum Flakes for Industrial Coatings
High leafing grade aluminum flakes with pronounced lamellar structure for protective industrial coatings like roof paints and marine finishes. HTS 7603.20.00.00 applies to these flake powders due to their thin, plate-like morphology. Used for barrier properties via alignment in solvent-based systems.
Aluminum Flake Powder for Plastics Pigmentation
Lamellar flakes treated for dispersion in thermoplastics, providing metallic luster in molded plastic parts like automotive trim. Under HTS 7603.20.00.00 as powders of lamellar structure before compounding into plastics. Flake shape enables orientation for aesthetic effects.
Dutch Gold Aluminum Flakes
"Dutch gold" grade lamellar aluminum flakes historically used for imitation gold leaf in decorative paints and inks. HTS 7603.20.00.00 covers these fine flakes with classic lamellar structure. Ideal for achieving antique metallic finishes.
