Metallic Effect Tints (aqueous concentrate)

Achieve effects from a subtle shimmer to an opaque solid metal finish. Compatible with a variety of materials (water or solvent based). Highly concentrated with gold, bronze, aluminum and pearlescent pigments. Binder free. Wont dry out or freeze. These metallic pigments stay in suspension, wont settle-out. Can be used in any combination with the 18 organic MIXOL colors (Non-Oxide Colors).

Can be used in some white pigmented materials. All types of applications are suitable brush, roller, spray applied.

The following materials have been successfully tested:

• wood glazes, cement glazes
• wall glazes (interior and exterior use)
• nitrocellulose clear varnishes
• polyurethane clear varnishes (solvent based)
• polyurethane alkyd clear varnishes (solvent based)
• acrylic wood finishes (water based)
• white interior wall paint*
• insulating paints (water based)*
• decorative lime plaster for walls*

NOTES:

Minimum shelf life: over 1 year. Maximum additions by weight: 10 % for Varnishes and Clear Coatings 3-5 % for Glazes. Product may freeze in extreme temperatures. Just de-frost slowly, and shake very well. The final effect will not be compromised. As with all MIXOLs, be careful of over-saturation. MIXOL Metallic Effect Tints are highly concentrated. Take extra care with transparent coatings. Remember a little MIXOL goes a long way! The Silver Effect Tint may be incompatible in highly alkaline materials (blistering due to Aluminum content). Solvent based materials should be tested for compatibility. MIXOL Metallic Effect Tints have a comparatively high water content which may cause incompatibilities with materials sensitive to water. The 15 Oxide-Type MIXOLs contain larger sized pigments that will cover the smaller Metallic Effect Pigments, obscuring any decorative effect.

* Materials containing white or colored pigments should always be tested. Pigmented material may absorb the smaller metallic effect pigments. A lighter, shimmer effect is still possible though.
