On the basis of grade, aluminum pigments market can be segmented into leafing and non-leafing types. Leafing grades usually floats on the surface of the coating film, imparting a brilliant and lustrous effect to the coated surface. The leafing grade products, however, are not able to withstand mechanical strain and do not get dispersed with the resin completely. As a result, they tend to fade with time. This grade of products witnessed extensive usage in cosmetics and printing inks for temporary brightness effects.
Non-leafing grades will account for a significant share of the global aluminum pigments market in the forecast years owing to its long-lasting effects. They exhibit better corrosion and abrasion resistance and find wide range of applications for metallic paints. Automotive industries require durable and stable paints for superior aesthetic features. Rising demand for personal vehicles in developing countries will have a notable impact on the non-leafing market growth.
Aluminum pigments market application scenario is distributed in several end-user industries including paints & coatings, printing inks, personal care, plastic, and others such as construction materials.
