A brilliant world fi rst in surface fi nishing:
TIGER Drylac ® 3D Metallics
Whether for individual
architectural applications,
in the automotive or
sports equipment fi elds or
as stylish interior design
elements: metallic fi nishes
are in high demand.
They enhance the quality
of an object, turning it
into a distinctive, one-of-
a-kind piece.
A process known as bonding is often used to
make powder coatings with metallic effects:
Here, powder and metallic pigments are
mixed homogeneously using shear force and
temperature, a process in which the metallic
pigments bond on to the powder particle
surface. The result is impressive – however
standard single-coat metallic powder
coatings cannot quite compete with the
visual appearance of metallic liquid paints.
In order to meet the increased demands for
brilliancy and depth, TIGER developed a
spectacular product innovation that perfectly
combines the high expectations of powder
coating for finish and visual effects. are first added to a clear or transparent
powder coating. Then a special mixing
process is used to create a homogeneous
blend from this master batch with a second,
opaque powder coating.
TIGER Drylac ® 3D Metallics: During the melting and curing phase,
TIGER Drylac ® 3D Metallics form channels
of clear powder coating between pigment
and coating surface. As a result, similar to
fiber-optic conductors, the pigments deep
inside the powder coating matrix become
visible as well and the 3D metallic effect
can be seen perfectly from any angle.
A new generation of liquid paint lookalike
metallic powder coatings that open up
optical dimensions never before achieved
and cannot be distinguished from liquid paint
in terms of effect:
Design and technology for all applications
Very good batch consistency This innovative product offers a decisive
advantage compared to liquid paint:
TIGER Drylac ® 3D Metallics are for use
in a single-coat process, are environ-
mentally friendly, and are suitable
for most applications.
Outstanding results with just one coat For further information:
