Toyal America Leafing Paste

The ability of aluminum pigment particles to align themselves parallel to both the substrate and surface of a coating film as it dries is called 'Leafing'.

This is caused by the stearic acid used during the milling cycle.

The Toyal America, Inc. line of leafing pigments offers a full range of particle size materials in accordance with ASTM standards along with a number of enhanced materials exhibiting higher brilliance due to advanced polishing techniques.
