Currently there are two types of advanced appearance measurement instruments avail¬able on the market capable of determining radiometric and texture information of effect color shades at various directional and quasi-diffuse measurement geometries.
Colors & Effects®, BASF's brand focused on pigments, is highlighting its commitment to sustainably sourced natural mica flakes to produce natural mica-based effect pigments for the coatings, plastics, printing and cosmetic industries.
BASF has opened a new research laboratory in Besigheim, Germany, for pigments manufactured and marketed under the company's global brand Colors & Effects®.
The three methods presented here are: visual matching at the window or in the light cabin; instrument-based measurement with the relevant portable devices; as well as the description of the optical properties.
After 15 years of development and countless hours of collaboration across a number of experts, this group of researchers was finally able to crack the code on structural color to develop "omnidirectional" structural color that does not change when viewed from different angles.
The incorporation of metallic and pearlescent pigments is a proven method to generate interest and improve viewer perception of powder coatings. Effect pigments convey a message of premium product finish with the visual association conveyed to the coated parts or products.
