Copper powder is a metallic luster powder pigment made from copper as the main raw material through specific processing techniques. It is also often referred to as "copper powder" or "gold powder" (named for its appearance that resembles the luster of real gold). It is not real gold powder, but instead utilizes the metallic properties of copper. Through a series of processes such as smelting, ball milling, classification, and surface treatment, it can endow various products with a metallic texture and decorative effect.
The main value of copper powder lies in that when added to materials such as coatings, inks, plastics, and crafts, it can achieve a gold-like metallic decorative effect at a relatively low cost. At the same time, it has practical properties such as weather resistance and adhesion, and is widely used in fields such as decoration, packaging, and industrial coating.
This is one of the most widely used fields for copper-gold powder. In automotive coatings, it can be used for painting components such as car bodies and wheel hubs, endowing vehicles with a luxurious metallic texture and enhancing their appearance grade. In architectural coatings, it is suitable for decorating building exteriors, door and window frames, allowing buildings to present rich visual effects under different light conditions. Additionally, it can be used in furniture coatings to add a metallic luster to furniture like tables, chairs, and cabinets, making them more stylish and textured.
Printing Industry
It is often used in packaging printing, such as high-end gift boxes, cosmetics packaging boxes, tobacco and alcohol packaging boxes, etc. Printing with copper-gold powder can make the packaging surface show a bright metallic luster, enhancing the attractiveness and added value of the packaging. In paper printing, it can be used for printing greeting cards, calendars, picture albums, etc., improving the artistic sense and ornamental value of printed matter.
Plastics Industry
It can be added to plastic raw materials to produce various plastic products, such as toys, daily necessities, decorative parts, etc. Plastic products with copper-gold powder added have a metallic luster, with a more attractive appearance, which can meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers.
Ink Industry
It is mainly used in the manufacture of gold ink, which is widely used in the printing industry, such as the printing of covers and illustrations for newspapers, magazines, and books, as well as the printing of trademarks and labels. This gives printed matter a striking metallic luster and improves the recognizability of information.
Crafts and Decoration Field
In craft production, it can be used for surface decoration of crafts made of ceramics, glass, resin, etc. By means of brushing, spraying, etc., copper-gold powder is attached to the surface of crafts, making them show a metallic texture and enhancing their artistic value. In the decoration field, it can be used for decorating walls, ceilings, floors, etc., creating a unique metallic decoration style.
2.Significant cost advantage. With copper as the main raw material, its production cost is much lower than that of real gold powder, but it can simulate the visual effect of gold.
3.Wide range of applications. It can be mixed with various materials such as coatings, inks, plastics and resins, and is suitable for many industries including automobile, construction, packaging, printing and crafts, meeting different process requirements such as painting, printing, injection molding and surface decoration.
