ACF-105

ACF-105/Special Effects was specifically developed for its visual appearance, but it still provides the same strength and anti-corrosive properties as all of our glass flake products.

Typical uses: Our ACF-105 glass flake was developed for the effects market. We were able to discover an extremely specific particle size distribution, capable of providing a refractive index desired by numerous consumer markets. Our ACF-105 has the ideal aspect ratio, providing a glimmer effect like that of a diamond. Typically, ACF-105 is used as a substrate and is coated with metal alloy or compound, such as Silver or Titanium Dioxide to produce a pigment/product that is truly remarkable.
Applications for ACF 105 include:

  • Substrates for decorative or cosmetic products
  • Automotive and Marine Paints
  • Coated and used as a pigment
  • Used by artists and painters worldwide
  • Various labeling and wrapping prints
  • Fashion
  • Building and Construction enhancement
