Automotive refinish coatings
Effect pigments, aluminium pigments
Damage to original paint can be improved with air drying and low-bake coatings because the entire vehicle would not withstand the conditions required for a baked on coating (140°-160°C). The second largest difference with respect to the original paint is that the standardized colors are mixed in the workshop in small amounts according to specified formulas from a limited number of mixed coatings. For this reason, a particularly high degree of quality consistency is also required.

Decomet®
Decomet® is SCHLENK’s range of vacuum metallized pigments, in other words those aluminium pigments which are not produced using the classic grinding process, but rather by the removal of an aluminium film from a support upon which it had been deposited by a PVD process. This method gives the pigment particles an extremely smooth surface which reflects light.
Coatings containing this pigment have a glossy metallic appearance and, depending on the composition, are described as having a “chrome effect”, “platinum effect” or “stainless-steel effect”. VMP particles are much thinner than classic aluminium pigments and have better covering power, a fact which needs to be taken into consideration during formulation. Decomet® can be used in conventional, water-based and UV-curing coatings systems.
