Double-Coated Aluminum Powder Drives Advancements in Powder Coatings

2025 / 12 / 09

As global manufacturers demand higher performance from metallic powder coatings, double coated aluminum powder has quickly become a preferred solution. With better corrosion resistance, improved stability, and optimized particle-size control, this new generation of aluminum powder is reshaping the architectural, automotive, and industrial coating markets. ZHANGQIU METALLIC PIGMENT CO., LTD (ZQ) brings years of expertise to this field, delivering products engineered to meet increasingly strict performance standards.


Understanding Double-Coated Aluminum Powder

Double-coated aluminum powder is produced using a dual-layer silica and resin surface treatment, significantly enhancing chemical resistance, salt-spray durability, and mortar resistance. Compared with conventional aluminum powders, the improved surface treatment delivers higher stability and safer processing during powder coating manufacturing.

ZQ’s current series includes particle sizes from 11 μm to 50 μm (D50), covering applications ranging from fine architectural finishes to durable industrial metallic effects.


Advanced Surface Technology: Why Double Coating Matters

1. Superior Corrosion and Weather Resistance

The dual silica-resin coating forms a dense protective barrier. Testing shows:

  • Enhanced resistance to salt spray exposure

  • Better performance in alkaline and acidic environments

  • Reduced risks of oxidation or gas generation

This makes the powder ideal for exterior architectural materials requiring long-term durability.

2. Consistent Particle Size Distribution (11–50 μm)

The series includes grades such as YJU-11A, YJU-18, YJU-35, YJU-50, each offering:

  • Narrow particle size distribution

  • Higher metallic uniformity

  • Better curing performance in powder lines

Fine grades (11–18 μm) deliver smoother finishes, while larger flakes enhance texture and reflectivity.

3. Improved Processing & Safety Performance

Thanks to the dense coating structure:

  • The powder shows excellent charging behavior

  • Improved stability during extrusion and bonding

  • Lower reactivity during storage and transport

Manufacturers benefit from fewer production risks and better consistency batch to batch.


Applications & Performance Comparison

Double-coated aluminum powder is widely used in:

Application Benefits
Architectural powder coatings High corrosion resistance, uniform metallic appearance
Automotive trim & accessories Strong durability, bright silver effect
Outdoor equipment Weatherproof coating performance
Industrial machinery finishes Better chemical resistance and color stability
Powder coating compatibility General

Comparison with standard aluminum powder:

Feature Normal Aluminum Powder Double-Coated Aluminum Powder
Corrosion resistance Medium Very High
Chemical stability Moderate Strong (Silica + Resin barrier)
Safety (water/acid exposure) Sensitive Highly stable
Durability in outdoor use Limited Long-term outdoor performance
Powder coating compatibility General Optimized for charging + curing

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why is double-coated aluminum powder better for powder coatings?

The dual-layer silica and resin coating reduces chemical reactivity and improves corrosion resistance, essential for long-lasting metallic powder coatings.

Q2: Does particle size affect appearance?

Yes. Finer grades (11–18 μm) produce smoother finishes, while coarser grades (35–50 μm) deliver higher sparkle and stronger aluminum flop.

Q3: Can it be used in architectural-grade powders?

Absolutely. The series is engineered specifically for high-performance architectural and industrial applications requiring strong weather resistance.

Q4: Is this product safer to store and handle?

Yes. The dense SiO₂/resin coating significantly minimizes moisture reactivity, improving storage stability.
