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:
Product Designation | Nominal Flake Thickness (Microns) | Bulk Density (lbs/ft3) | Particle Size Distribution (Microns) | Surface Treatment | Packaging lb (kg) |
ACF-105 | 5 ± 1 | 26 ± 5 | < 150 (0-20%) 150-300(10-50%) 300-710 (30-60%) 710-1700 (0-30%)>1700(0%) |
None | Kraft bag 44lb (20kg) |
ACFT*-105 | 5 ± 1 | 26 ± 5 | Same as ACF-100 | Silane see below | Sams as ACF-100 |
