Vacuum coated coarse PET flakes of approximately
0.2mm diameter, ideal for decorative applications in
most thicker film inks, paints and some low temperature
plastics applications. These flakes are treated with
an additive to dramatically reduce static electricity
for ease of handling. All shades comply with UK and
EC Toy Regulations (EN71, part 3, Heavy Metals). Finer
versions of the standard flakes are available to special
order, but shades may not be exact matches to the standard
grade.

Application guidelines:
These flakes are quite robust, but should be dispersed
by stirring only, not milled or ground. Processing temperatures
should not be allowed to rise above 50°C. Mixing
with non-opacifying colourants and effect additives
is possible to achieve custom effects.
