The invention relates to a
metal chromium waterborne mirror-like silver
pigment and a manufacturing method thereof. The
pigment contains the following components in percentage by weight: 10%-30% of
metal chromium slice particles, 70%-88% of a dispersing agent and 0-2% of an aid. The manufacturing method comprises the following steps: (1)
coating a
plastic film base material with a resin layer witha thickness of 1-1.2 microns; (2) depositing
metal chromium on the surface of the resin layer by virtue of a continuous winding type magnetron
sputtering method, so as to form a nano-chromium film; and (3) crushing a
mixed solution containing a
solvent, resin and a fine chromium slice, filtering, adding the aid, adjusting the sold content, so as to obtain the metal chromium waterborne mirror-likesilver
pigment containing the metal chromium slice particles, the dispersing agent and the aid. According to the pigment, chromium is taken as metal chromium mirror-like silver of the material, the same mirror surface effect is preserved, and meanwhile, the problems that existing mirror surface aluminum cannot
resist water and
corrosion are solved, so that the application field of the mirror-likesilver pigment is extended from a waterborne
system to a UV
system, and the pigment is accordant with the environment-friendly demands.
