Make colour measurable — for formulation development, incoming inspection and customer release.
Colour is created in the eye and therefore depends on illumination, observer and surroundings. A spectrophotometer instead measures the reflectance spectrum and calculates colour values that are independent of the observer. The colour difference between sample and reference becomes a number — and thus something that can be written into a specification and compared across sites.
For solid shades a single-geometry instrument is usually enough. Effect finishes with metallic or pearlescent pigments change their appearance with the viewing angle; they call for a multi-angle instrument, and for grain size and sparkle additionally an image-based evaluation. Anyone adjusting formulations also needs the link to colour matching software — which is where the software co-determines the instrument.
Trade names from our range. Click a name to ask Corvus — he knows the technical data and helps you narrow things down.
Data sheets, operating manuals and quotations are available on request. We quote prices individually, because configuration, accessories and the scope of calibration decide the figure.
An instrument is only worth something once its readings hold up. Calibration, adjustment, repair and operator training are handled from Aesch — the same contact, the same language.
Caw! I know every data sheet.
Corvus is an AI assistant, not a product filter: tell him in plain language what you need to measure — he reads the BYK-Gardner technical data sheets, asks back when something is missing, and only then recommends. Gloss, colour, film thickness, viscosity, physical testing and more.
He answers from the instruments' technical documents — measuring ranges, standards, specifications. Not from general web knowledge.
Describe the problem in your own words. He asks about the measuring task, substrate and standard — and only then recommends a specific instrument.
For prices, demos and quotes, the ChemServices team takes over personally.
