Patent ID: 8283397

Claim:
A resin-coated metal pigment comprising a metal pigment, a phosphate ester layer, and a resin coating layer that coats said metal pigment with said phosphate ester layer interposed therebetween, wherein said phosphate ester layer is made of a phosphate ester containing phosphate mono- and/or di-esters having a radical polymerizable double bond, or a homopolymer or a copolymer of phosphate mono- and/or di-esters, said phosphate ester is adsorbed on the surface of said metal pigment, said resin coating layer is made of a homopolymer or a copolymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer and/or an oligomer having at least one polymerizable double bond, and a phosphorus content per unit surface area of said resin-coated metal pigment is within a range from 0.05 to 1.3 mg/m 2 .
