Can water-based aluminum silver paste be diluted?

I. Basic Characteristics of Water-Based Aluminum Silver Paste

Water-based aluminum silver paste is an environmentally friendly coating additive, mainly used for metallic effect coatings. It uses water as the dispersion medium and features low odor and easy cleaning. Unlike oil-based aluminum silver paste, the water-based formula focuses more on environmental performance while maintaining metallic gloss and coverage.

II. Dilution Methods for Water-Based Aluminum Silver Paste

Feasibility of Dilution: Can be diluted, but a special thinner must be used

Dilution Ratio: It is recommended to control within the range of 5-15%

Precautions:

Avoid excessive dilution that may cause metallic flakes to settle

Stir thoroughly to ensure uniform dispersion

Test a small sample to confirm the effect before bulk operation

III. Separation Phenomenon and Preventive Measures

Possibility of Separation: Improper operation may cause the paste to separate

Preventive Methods:

Keep sealed during storage

Stir thoroughly before use

Avoid extreme temperature environments

Remedial Measures: Mild separation can be restored by strong stirring
