Aluminium paste is a composition that has metallic shine, good reflectivity, and strong corrosion resistance. It is used in the automotive industry for metallic and pearlescent paints that provide vehicles with protective properties. It is utilized in coatings for machinery, appliances, and marine equipment as it is durable and resistant to harsh environments. It is used in the construction industry for the production of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks, where it works as a foaming agent to create lightweight, insulating building materials. It is employed in the manufacturing of printing inks for packaging and labels. It is also used in the synthesis of powder coatings for better surface finish and plastics for improved appearance and performance. It is used in electronics for conductive coatings and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

Feedstock for Aluminium Paste

The production of aluminium paste uses aluminium powder as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of aluminium paste.

The procurement of aluminium powder is influenced by the availability and price of aluminium ingots (fluctuations in its demand in global market prices and demand from key industries like electronics, packaging, and automotive industries affects its sourcing). The adherence to quality certifications and regulatory standards and the purity and morphology impact its sourcing. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like construction (AAC blocks), automotive paints and pigments, explosives and pyrotechnics, thermit welding, ferroalloy manufacturing, pesticides, and the production of aluminium pastes and fireworks affect its costs and supply. Also, logistics include supplier proximity and shipping costs that impact lead times and overall procurement efficiency.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Aluminium Paste manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Aluminium Paste manufacturing.

• From Aluminium Powder: The feedstock for this process includes aluminium powder.

The manufacturing process of aluminium paste starts with the production of aluminium powder. After that, the aluminium powder goes through milling, followed by surface treatment. The treated aluminium powder is then blended into a solvent or carrier medium, creating a uniform paste. During this stage, various additives are introduced to improve properties like viscosity, stability, adhesion, and corrosion resistance. The finished aluminium paste is then carefully packaged in moisture-resistant containers.
 

Properties of Aluminium Paste

Aluminium paste is a silver-grey metallic paste that is made up of finely milled aluminium flakes suspended in a carrier medium. It has high metallic gloss and reflectivity, excellent opacity, and a density of around 1.4 g/cm³. Its particle size ranges from 5 to 30 microns, and the paste has a viscosity between 100 and 400 mPa·s. It is insoluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents, and it should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain stability. Its flash point is generally above 70 degree Celsius. It is stable under recommended storage conditions. It is non-magnetic, non-sparking, and shows strong corrosion resistance and thermal stability. The additives provide improved resistance to acids, alkalis, and weathering, as well as improved adhesion and durability in coatings. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in industrial coatings, automotive paints, heat-resistant and marine coatings, printing inks, powder coatings, etc.
