Alum Leafing Paste is a metallic pigment dispersion composed primarily of aluminum flakes suspended in a carrier solvent or paste medium. It is designed to produce a high-luster, silver-like metallic finish in coatings, inks, plastics, and decorative applications. The aluminum flakes in leafing pastes are specially treated to align parallel to the surface during application, creating a reflective, mirror-like effect. This paste is commonly used in industrial, automotive, packaging, and printing industries where brilliant metallic appearance and surface coverage are essentia
