Recommendations for storage:

- store in a cool, dry place

- keep away from direct exposure to sunlight

- after usage, replace lid on drum and close tightly

Recommendations for the user:

- depending on the nature of the application and the effect required, the proportion of bronze to other inqredients will vary:

 for the sectors paints and inks: the proportions 1/3 copper and 2/3 other ingredients can be used as a starting formulation

- for optimal dispersion results, ingredients ought to be added gradually

- no high speed stirrer should be used in order to avoid shear forces which can damage the particles

- for optimal results, PH of printing ink or paint formulation ought to be as neutral as possible

- since metallic pigments are subject to oxydation, replace lid on drum after use and close tightly

- in case of a paste, the drums need to be closed tightly at all times to prevent the paste from drying out

- in case the product is mixed in a formulation that should have a certain shelve life, tests ought to be performed first with small quantities

Recommendations for storage:

- store in a cool, dry place, away from humidity

- keep away from direct exposure to sunlight, flames and heat sources

- after usage, replace lid on drum and colose tightly

Recommendations for the user:

- depending on the nature of the application and the effect required, the proportion of aluminium to other ingredients will vary: a starting aluminium formulaiton can be 1/5 pigment and 4/5 other ingredients

- for optimal dispersion results, ingredients ought to be added gradually

- no high speed stirrer should be used in order to avoid shear forces which can damage the particles

- for optimal results, PH of printing ink or paint formulation ought to be as neutral as possible

- since metallic pigments are subject to oxydation, replace lid on drum after use and close tightly

- in case of a paste, the drums need to be closed tightly at all times to prevent the paste from drying out
